Is the only sport that left-handed people are not allowed to play?

The banning of left-handed playing in a game of polo is for safety reasons in order to avoid the likelihood of a head-on collision between players. As a left-handed player and a right-handed player head for the ball, they would not pass each other as they do in right-hand only games.

Can left-handed people use both hands?

Some people are more comfortable using their right hand but still use their left for some tasks. Few people are fully ambidextrous, meaning they use both hands equally for the same tasks. Left-handed people are most comfortable writing, throwing and doing other everyday jobs with their left hand.

Why are there no left-handed polo players?

Lefties were officially banned from polo in the mid-1930s for safety reasons, but the restriction was relaxed after World War II when polo players of any persuasion were a scarce lot. The USPA reinstated the lefty ban again in 1974 and it’s stuck: there are no more left-handed polo players.

Are lefties better at tennis?

Our world is built for right-handed people, but on the tennis court, lefties like me, have the advantage. Like most people, the majority of tennis players are right-handed. They get used to playing against each other. Not only are lefties used to this, the rules of tennis actually favour us on the big points.

Can you be a lefty catcher?

Twenty years ago this Tuesday, Distefano, then a hanging-on major leaguer, served as a left-handed catcher in a major league baseball game. No one has done so since. Like Ladies Night and pitchers named Wilbur, left-handed catchers are effectively extinct — for reasons on which there is bizarrely little consensus.

Why are catchers always right-handed?

Left-handed throws to second base are adversely affected by right-handed hitters. Controlling the running game is important, and the majority of plate appearances come with a right-hander at the plate. So the assumption is that “throwing through the batter” negatively affects the catcher’s accuracy.
