Tag Archives: right-handed versus left-handed

Mr. B. can’t decide whether he prefers to throw right or throw left. Playing catch in the backyard a while ago, he preferred to throw right. At team practice, we notice, when tossing the balls around without wearing gloves, he instinctively throws left. He’s left-handed in writing, eating, etc., so it makes sense. But then he’ll catch himself and start throwing right, instead. So, with the price of baseball gloves for 7-year-olds pretty low, we bought two, a right and a left, so he can choose whichever he prefers. So far it’s the right-hander’s glove, most of the time, and he’s getting better. His team plays the Mets on Wednesday. The Northwest Little League Mets, that is.
