plus the lefty is bit closer to first base too so a better chance to beat out a few throws to first over a career..

Also leftys get to hit against 38 year old+ crafty lefty pitchers....i am not aware of any crafty right handed pitchers to the same degree.....

I would assume the lefty hitters have so much of an advantage that manager will still resort to a crafty lefty or a guy like Rich Hill who basically only would pitch this year because he is a lefty

I never heard of an old baseball player pitcher thats only in the league because he is a righty...

This is the kind of stuff I've always had to put up with from a North-Paw World!
