My kid is a lefty...
He writes lefty, throws and catches lefty (baseball & football), punches lefty, plays guitar lefty.
He uses a right handed hockey stick (which is correct for a lefty - as you said), bats right handed (could switch hit when he was younger), golfs right handed and is right hand dominant for lacrosse.
He's all ****ed up.

Re: International Left Handers Day 2014
Lefty power!! Played hockey lefty, golf LH, catch LH, swung a bat lefty as well. But as has been explained, it's all correct because my right hand is my dominant hand.
Give me a lacrosse stick and I look silly with it and throw like a girl. Just the way real Americans should be!!

Re: International Left Handers Day 2014
For the lacrosse haters in here...
I'm not here to change your minds. I was right there with the rest of college hockey fans as we watched the never ending OT a few years back.
As a parent though who attends his kid's sporting events, I gotta say it was a great day when the boy dropped out of baseball to take up lacrosse at about age 10.
10 year old Little League may be the absolute most boring gut wrenching thing to ever have to watch.
Lacrosse is actually fun to watch and the game flow is a mixture of hockey (physicality), basketball (offensively) and soccer (advancing the field/transition). At least half of my kid's teammates over the years have also been hockey players. Usually good hockey players.
Also - at least in lacrosse, I get to see my kid light fools up!

I don't mind watching lacrosse, honestly. Much better than watching basketball and/or soccer.
I've just heard a lot of people (erroneously) describe it as hockey on a field. The offense, with its sets, cuts and picks is far more similar to basketball imo.
And I don't seek to change minds on here, just saying that it's been a fun sport from a parent's perspective.
