I can't write legibly. Fortunately, handwritten samples aren't required often.

My wife is a lefty. She doesn’t bitch too much about things. She’s strategic about where she it’s at the dinner table though.

No big, but he will hate spiral notebooks. All lefties hate them.

oddly enough my youngest is favoring his left, but I’m going to force him to throw and write right handed.

I thought myself how to be ambidextrous in my 20s

Well at least when it comes to throwing and hitting a basenall/softball

Don't do that. Let him use his dominant hand. Why would you attempt to alter it?

As a right hand dominant athlete, but left hand writer…I had the worst of both worlds. Smearing pencil isn’t that big of a deal. Kids hardly write in school anymore anyway. Keep him lefty.

My youngest always swung a golf club and bat lefty when he was little. We just went with it. He’s right hand dominant but bats lefty. He’s a good basketball and baseball player as a middle schooler.

Lefty here...it's a major advantage in most everything. Most leftys are good with both hands. I can throw, write etc with both. Shoot roundball, etc. I golf and bat right but throw left. Let it happen and teach him to use both since its a right handed world...door knobs, etc.


So true. You guys are wired funky. Nephew writes left handed, kicks left footed, bats left ….but throws right he’s actually functional doing some things right handed while most righties can’t do shite left handed.

My youngest daughter is ambidextrous, so it wasn't a huge issue with her. She can do everything with both hands. She ended up, batting or swinging lefty, she writes right handed, but is just as good with her left and she is left footed.

Here is the biggest problem you will face, idiots at school/daycare. My son is left handed, dominant left handed in everything he does. The window licking retards we pay at daycare will not learn this and try to make him write right handed. We send messages all the time, we have talked to everyone.

The bad part is, most kids are right handed, he sees them and thinks that's what he should be doing so he tries it right handed. It's been so bad that he has actually become slightly better with his right hand so now we have to figure out if we stick with that or force him into his dominant hand.

Just assume in everything he does, someone will try to make him do it right handed unless you correct them.

I’ve heard it said that the distinction is that you are either right handed or not right handed. Point being is that pure left hand dominance is sorta rare. Many who write left handed actually have a weird mix of hand dominance for various tasks. In my experience, I have to test out both options when trying something new, it kinda sucks.

I doubt that.

You need 43 days in a mlb roster per year to qualify for 2.5%, and 10 years to become fully vested.



For the 2021 season, the 26-man active roster size took effect; however, the roster limit of 13 pitchers was waived, as were restrictions on position players pitching.[8] The 13-pitcher limit, two-way player rule, and restrictions on position players pitching finally went into effect during the 2022 season.
