Here’s some useless information:

The reason they call left handers “south paws” .... a baseball stadium is situated so that home plate faces due west so that the batters dont end up with the sun rising in their eyes, and when a left handed pitcher is on the mound they face due south (toward first base) ... making them south paws.
