Ted Williams is one I always found "unusual" in that he was a NATURAL right hander , amazing in that the greatest LEFT HANDED hitter EVER was actually a right handed person.
When Williams was asked about it once he said he had no idea WHY ...and said it was not something he learned. He said that when he was a young kid the first time he ever picked up a baseball bat he swung it lefthanded
