He took three swings left-handed and whiffed every time. And looked bad doing it. I was amazed. How could someone who was a really good left-handed hitter, plus a really good golfer, not be able to hit a golf ball left-handed?

George also was the best fielding first baseman I ever saw up close.
When I entered Kindergarten they had no idea what hand I was because I didn't favor one over the other...they forced me into a righty, but I still do a lot of things left handed that I can't do right handed...and some things I do with both hands just depending on how I feel. I sometimes even switch the mouse on the computer to the left side.
