Hold on: Jerry IS a RIGHT-handed ball-player?!

[Andy MacAskill]

I had been led to believe (from someone on the ng a couple of years ago)
that when we see Jerry in "The Pony Remark" wearing a baseball glove for
a right-hander that such was a "gaff," or "goof," or "flub" as it were,
because Jerry is plainly a lefty.

Now, however, comes the Bette Midler episode (years later; I caught it
two nights ago) where--Holy Heck-a-roo!--Jerry at the softball game is
shown not merely wearing a baseball glove for a right-hander, but is
shown throwing, and throwing well, WITH HIS RIGHT HAND! (This is when
he's warming up by playing catch before the game in which George knocks
Bette out cold).

Does the News Guy maintain a list of goofs? Is the baseball-glove thing
on it? Well, then it should be removed forthwith.

Evidently, some indeed exist who are left-handed in everything but
throwing, and I learn something new every day.

This will also give a clue about which side he hangs to:

Pull with the right....hang to the left.

Pull with the left......hang to the right.

As cheapness is not a sense, ambidexterity is not a goof.

And throwing right while otherwise being left-handed is not ambidexterity.

There are people who write with one hand and do just about every other
activity with the opposite hand as dominant.

My mother and my wife both write with their right hand, but do everything
else primarily lefty (golf, throw, kick, play an instrument, use
silverware...).

As you point out, Seinfeld could easily write with his left hand but do
everything else primarily right handed. He also wears his wristwatch on his
right hand, as left-handed writers tend to do.

Phil Mickelson is an excellent case in point. He plays golf left
handed (very well) and is even known as "Lefty". I was blown away once
when I saw him playing catch in the parking lot at a golf course with
Bones, his caddy, and he was throwing and catching right handed. Turns
out he is right handed. He plays golf left handed because of how he
watched his father and siblings as a kid (a real little kid) and
literally "mirrored" their swings.

Some people are bat and catch with the hand they don't write with. As a
guitar player, I know that some guitarists do the same thing. Sometimes
it's due to the fact that when they were young, lefty gloves (or guitars)
weren't around.

However, if there was another baseball/softball episode, and he was lefty
- that would be a goof.....

In the episode with the marble bread (that he stole from the old lady).
I remember him throwing it to George at a second story window - what hand
did he use for that???

That's my memory, too.

But what about when he grabbed the rye from that old bag?

I seem to remember him throwing something... tossing keys... tossing the
phone.... but no clear memories :) Didn't he arm-wrestle somebody????
Mandlebaum??

Not sure about that one, but I remember him tossing a packet containing
rubber gloves to Kramer as he entered the apartment, and I think that was
with his right hand.

Yes, he threw the marble rye the way little kids sometimes shoot a
basketball underhanded.

He throws right but writes and holds a fork left. Like me.

He also masturbates with his left hand
