Left handed

  • In honor of Fathers Day, thelefthandstore.com celebrates the left-handed dads all around us, as well as famous left-handed fathers through history.
  • (San Francisco Gate)
  • Theres a lot of interesting research about personality differences between left-handed and right-handed people.
  • (The Business Insider)
  • Theyre only two runs behind the Reds. Minnesotas best swings seem to come against left-handed pitching, where theyre ninth in OPS. Station to Station (USP)I was dismissive of Trevor Plouffe in the last Shuffle Up, but perhaps that was a hasty move.
  • (YAHOO!)
  • But in the majors, he has mashed them. After tallying three more hits against lefties last night, including a double and a homer, Harper is 15 for 41 (.366) against left-handers with two homers, two triples, three doubles and four walks.
  • (Washington Post)
  • Last year the Reds went into their opening series with Cleveland five games over .500 and just a half game out of first. The Reds had just recently won 11 out of 13 games. The Indians swept them, and the Reds left Cleveland 2.5 games out.
  • (YAHOO!)
  • The world is stacked against them, an unspoken prejudice against the poor left-hander. Its not a good thing to have two left feet, to receive a left-handed compliment. Go down the left-hand path and youre into black magic, or maybe just reality shows.
  • (Los Angeles Times)
  • Five years later, Doolittle finally has arrived in the majors, having transformed himself from an injury-ravaged hitting prospect to a hard-throwing left-handed reliever.
  • (Contra Costa Times)
  • The Orioles this evening came to terms with a local Baltimore product, 19th-round draft pick Josh Hader, a left-handed pitcher from Old Mill High in Anne Arundel County, MASNsports.com has learned.

  • One thing guaranteed to elicit eye rolls from David Ortiz: The suggestion that his success against left-handed pitchers is surprising. Ortiz has hit lefties before. In 2006, for instance, 18 of his 54 homers came against southpaws.
  • (Boston Herald)
  • --1B/DH Clint Robinson, who was batting .314 with eight home runs and 37 RBI with Class AAA Omaha, was called up Thursday. Robinson, 27, won the Texas League Triple Crown in 2010, batting .335 with 29 home runs and 98 RBI for Class AA Northwest Arkansas.
