End-view of a 3-sided, left handed β-helix () A β-helix is formed from repeating structural units consisting of two or three short β-strands linked by short loops. These units "stack" atop one another in a helical fashion so that successive repetitions of the same strand hydrogen-bond with each other in a parallel orientation. See the β-helix article for further information. In lefthanded β-helices, the strands themselves are quite straight and untwisted; the resulting helical surfaces are nearly flat, forming a regular triangular prism shape, as shown for the 1QRE archaeal carbonic anhydrase at right.

It has been found that subjects who are lefthanded, particularly those who are also ambidextrous, perform better than righthanders on short term memory for the pitch. It was hypothesized that this handedness advantage is due to the fact that lefthanders have more duplication of storage in the two hemispheres than do righthanders. Other work has shown that there are pronounced differences between righthanders and lefthanders (on a statistical basis) in how musical patterns are perceived, when sounds come from different regions of space. This has been found, for example, in the Octave illusion and the Scale illusion.

Early in the 1975 season, Phillies general manager Paul Owens wanted a righthanded power hitter and a first baseman with more power than Tommy Hutton, a lefthanded contact hitter.

Allen had to be persuaded by several of his future teammates that both the organizational and racial climate in Philadelphia had changed for the better since his 1969 departure from the team. On May 4, the Phillies traded their first baseman Willie Montañez to the Giants for Garry Maddox which provided a bat for the outfield and opened first for Allen.

The referee expressed that they felt Cribb had been superior, but prior to the fight it had been agreed that going the distance meant the result was a draw.

He fought Dunn in October to a capacity crowd of approximately 1,500 at the Gaiety Athletic Club and the fight was regarded as exciting with Dunn knocking Cribb's false teeth out of his mouth with a lefthanded punch, and Cribb knocking Dunn out in the eighth round to secure the championship.

Pete Rose, the left fielder in Cincinnati in 1967, was shifted to right field for 1968. Mack Jones, a left- handed hitter acquired from the Atlanta Braves shortly before Johnson, was the early favorite to inherit the left field job.

First signed by the Boston Braves before the 1940 season, Spahn reached the major leagues in 1942 at the age of 20.

Spahn had pitched in only 4 games, allowing 15 runs (10 earned) in innings. Stengel later said that it was the worst managing mistake he had ever made: I said "no guts" to a kid who went on to become a war hero and one of the greatest lefthanded pitchers you ever saw.

Núñez recorded one of his first at-bats during a 1988 spring training game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Sports Illustrated recounted the at bat as follows: > Jose Nunez, a righthanded pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays who had never > batted in the pros before, stepped in against the Phillies' Kevin Gross in > an exhibition game in Clearwater, Florida. Before Gross could throw a pitch, > the third base ump motioned for Nunez to take off his warmup jacket. Then > Nunez returned to the lefthanded-batter's box and was told by plate ump Dave > Pallone that he was wearing a righty's helmet—the earflap covered his left > ear rather than his right, which faced the pitcher.

The Twins' tied the score in the bottom of the inning on Jim Perry's groundout with runners on first and third, but the Orioles put the game out of reach in the fourth inning, aided by Cuellar's bat and the lusty blasts of a strong wind blowing across Metropolitan Stadium. Two singles and Brooks Robinson's sacrifice fly produced one fourth-inning run off Jim Perry, the Twins' 24-game winner, and the Orioles loaded the bases with one out after two more singles. The lefthanded-hitting Cuellar, with a .089 batting average and 7 RBIs to show for his season's efforts, then pulled a Perry pitch toward foul territory in right field.

The player on the team who hit 12, starting third baseman Terry Pendleton (though named to the World Series roster) was hampered with a ribcage injury. Normally a switch-hitter, Pendleton was only able to swing lefthanded during the World Series and was also unable to play the field and thus was relegated to pinch-hitting duties or being the designated hitter in the games in Minnesota started by right- handed starters. Game 7 was won by Minnesota on the 35th birthday of the Twins' Roy Smalley – and was also the last game of his career. Smalley appeared in four games as a pinch-hitter and reached base all four times on a double, an error, and two walks.

The 4 dunkers competing were all up-and-coming players: The Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Timberwolves' Zach LaVine, the Magic's Victor Oladipo, and the Nets' Mason Plumlee. LaVine took home the hardware with dunks that included a between-the- legs reverse, a behind-the-back slam in which he caught it in midair, a between-the-legs lefthanded dunk, and finished with a between-the-legs dunk as he caught it off the pole behind the backboard. Similar to Howard with Superman, LaVine did his first dunk with a cultural homage, wearing Michael Jordan's jersey from Space Jam. Zach LaVine won the 2016 slam dunk contest with incredibly talented dunks, from a windmill from the free throw line to a sensational between-the-legs reverse dunk.

In his 1999 book on the early St. Louis Browns, J. Thomas Hetrick stated: > Performing gloveless at second base, Robinson was known for his range, > accurate throwing arm, and double-play acrobatics. Ambidextrous, Robinson > sometimes startled the opposition with lefthanded throws across his chest to > nail base runners heading to third. Similarly, baseball historian Robert L. Tiemann acknowledged that Robinson's refusal to wear a glove rendered him "less than outstanding on ground balls", but praised him for his "good range" and "accurate throws" and concluded that, overall, Robinson "excelled at second base because of his agility and quickness." While Robinson did rank second among the American Association's second basemen with 66 double plays turned in 1886, the historical record does not support the claim that he was an excellent, or even average, fielder.

The rest of the lineup featured familiar faces Dylan Gleeson at catcher, Luc Piquet and Maxime Lefevre in the infield. The outfield was made up of Kenji Hagiwara, Valentin Durier, Cespedes and Oscar Combes. Sebastien Duchossoy filled in as Rouen's utility man, while newcomers Hugo Blondel and Maxime Nutte got some AB's off the bench. Rouen's pitching was a key reason why Rouen finished the regular season in first place with a 26-2 record. Ozanich (7-1, 1.08 ERA) again led all French pitchers in wins, ERA, WHIP and strikeouts, Vaugelade (3-1, 2.30 ERA) was effective out of the bullpen, lefty Esteban Prioul (6-0, 1.52 ERA) confirmed his status as the top lefthanded pitching prospect in France, plus former AAA and Venezuelan national team hurler Jean Granados (8-0, 2.21 ERA) led the staff, with Cespedes (1-0, 1.93 ERA) and the veteran righty Keino Perez (1-0, 0.92 ERA) very productive when called upon as well.
