I played baseball as a left-handed first baseman, though never as well as I did quarterbacking.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am a lefty, though I bat right-handed... When I was a kid I pitched, played first, outfield and shortstop as well. Now it's mainly softball with some friends.
The first time I picked up a bat in a professional game, I hit a ball hard left-handed, and my first home run was so effortless, it surprised me.
My dad used to do it when we were little, and I tried it when we played around in the back yard. Eventually, I got a bat and a real ball and played around to see if I could hit left-handed.
I was the most powerful left-handed hitter in the Alameda area.
I thought I was a pretty good shortstop, but I also wanted to play in the major leagues.
I pitched and I played the outfield.
I love both sports, but the deciding factor was, being a left-handed pitcher, I had a huge advantage in baseball because of that, and I didn't have that type of advantage in hockey.
Wiffle ball was my first experience hitting left-handed.
I was a very good baseball player and football player as a kid.
I was a baseball player. I played in high school and a little bit in college. I was a catcher. I don't know if I could have played any other position. As a catcher, you're always on the ball.
