Left-handed quarterbacks (just for fun),

#22

Quote:Years ago Baseball used to be the national past time and was the most popular sport for kids in the US.

 

In baseball, being a left-handed pitcher (or 1st baseman) was an advantage.  Therefore, there was greater weight and emphasis placed on being left handed.  The baseball pitcher was often the QB of the local football team as well.

 

Fast forward to today.  Kids play soccer, lacrosse and other sports instead of baseball so there really isn't an emphasis on being left handed.  As a result, the population of left handed QBs is minimal.
 

So there used to be a lo/t of left-handed quarterbacks? Sign up more baseball players for football!

 

Baseball may be a lot less popular now, but having southpaws on the roster is still important. I can't remember if it helps the pitcher or batter though.

 

On soccer, there probably (just guessing here) is a difference between right-footed and left-footed players.
