Handedness in sports
Stumbling on this cool article on the platoon advantage of same-handed shooters and goalies (RH shooters prefer to play against goalies who have a glove on the RH, meaning that the stick and glove are on opposite sides, just like a RH pitcher is on opposite side of a LH hitter), there was a comment about how a disproportionate number of Canadians are LHH in baseball. It certainly makes sense, since the number of LH shooters in hockey is disproportionately large, and a LH shooter in hockey will become mostly a LH hitter in baseball. Here’s more on the subject.
