Babe Ruth Was A Righty... Well, At Least He Wrote Right Handed

Posted By: Griffin's

Babe went to a Jesuit school (Brother Mathias was his mentor). I don't know if this was the case, but I know being left handed was discouraged even into the early '70's, especially in Christian schools. My grandfather was forced to write right handed, and I had a few teachers that tried to get me to switch, especialy in catechism. I suspect this is why Ruth wrote right handed.
