A list of famous left handed people with pictures. People with left handedness, aka &quot;left handers,&quot;&nbsp;&quot;lefties,&quot;&nbsp;&quot;a lefty,&quot;&nbsp;or even &quot;southpaws&quot; have long had to deal with negative connotations within the western world. The <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-left-handed-boxers/left-handed?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">latin word for left</a>, &quot;sinistra&quot; is where we get the modern word &quot;sinister&quot;. By contrast, &quot;dexterity&quot; comes from the latin word for right handed, &quot;dexter&quot;.

Today, roughly 11% of the world&#39;s population is left handed. That number surged throughout the 20th century as adults stopped forcing left handed children to use their right hand. Left handedness has become unusually prominent within some professions.

Of the seven most recent Presidents of the United States, five were left handers. Many other world leaders are lefties as well. Generally speaking, left handed people today tend to be seen as more &quot;right brained&quot;. A recent study showed that college educated left handers in the United States earn on average 10-15% more than their right handed equivalents.

Who are some of the most famous lefties? Take a look at this list and find out.

Darryl Strawberry

Darryl Eugene Strawberry Sr. (born March 12, 1962) is an American former professional baseball right fielder and author who played 17 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB). Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, Strawberry was one of the most feared sluggers in the sport, known for his prodigious home runs and his intimidating presence in the batter's box with his 6-foot-6 frame and his long, looping swing that elicited comparisons to Ted Williams'.During his career, he helped lead the New York Mets to a World Series championship in 1986 and the New York Yankees to three World Series championships in 1996, 1998 and 1999. He was also suspended three times by MLB for substance abuse, leading to many narratives about his massive potential going unfulfilled. A popular player during his career, Strawberry was voted to the All-Star Game eight straight times from 1984–1991. Strawberry was formerly an analyst for SportsNet New York. His memoir, Straw: Finding My Way, written in collaboration with author John Strausbaugh, was published on April 28, 2009, by Ecco Press.

Some of these men are considered to be among the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-baseball-players-of-all-time">greatest baseball players of all time</a>, yet remain off of the &quot;official&quot; list of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/top-50-current-best-baseball-players?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best MLB players</a> ever at the baseball hall of fame in Cooperstown.

What keeps a player out of the baseball hall of fame? Some of these players- like Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire- have been involved in PED (performance enhancing drug) scandals, others broke the cardinal rule of not betting on the sport (Pete Rose), and still others were involved in a baseball player scandal, like Shoeless Joe Jackson who is said to have contributed to his team throwing the World Series. Some of the best baseball players are simply not on the list because they haven&#39;t yet acquired the 75% vote necessary for induction.

The best hitters in baseball history are those who hold the all-time hitting records in Major League Baseball, change the game as we know it, and are amongst the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-baseball-players-of-all-time" target="_blank">greatest baseball players of all time</a>. These sluggers dominated during their respective eras and captivated audiences at the same time. If you were to pick a top hitter for your all-time top baseball fantasy team, you'd be silly not to select these best baseball hitters as soon as possible.Pete Rose, Ty Cobb, Hank Aaron and Stan Musial all hold the top spots among the MLB all time hits, with Rose leading the pack at 4,256 over his career. Rose finished his career in 1986 and his record has withstood&nbsp;the time since.But the best hitters cannot be defined by the number of career hits alone. On that stat,&nbsp;Babe Ruth, arguably the best baseball hitter of all time, would rank in the 40s. Ruth&nbsp;holds top numbers for his home runs, slugging percentage, runs batted in and on-base&nbsp;percentage&nbsp;stats. Lou Gehrig is another who'd fall into that category with his major league records for the most grand slams -&nbsp;a figure since topped by a great modern slugger, Alex Rodriguez.So we're left with a conundrum. Do we deem those great players from yesteryear, like Willie Mays, Ted Williams and Shoeless Joe Jackson&nbsp;the best baseball hitters of all time? Do we give some love to&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-current-baseball-players/alecdom" target="_blank">current top baseball players</a>&nbsp;like Barry Bonds, Albert Pujols and Derek Jeter?

List of the best-ever New York Mets players from throughout the club's long and storied history. In 1962, the Mets were founded as one of the very first baseball expansion teams, intended to fill the void left by the National League's Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants from the city. The Mets played their first home games at New York's Polo Grounds in that year before taking up a more permanent residency at Shea Stadium. In 2009, the Mets moved from Shea to Citi Field.The team struggled in its first few years, and consistently finished in last place or second-to-last place until they shocked the world by winning the 1969 World Series against the Baltimore Orioles, earning the team the nickname &quot;The Miracle Mets.&quot; Their second championship didn't come until 1986, when they famously took down the Boston Red Sox, in part due to an error by the Sox's Bill Buckner in a crucial Game 6 matchup. (This game was often cited when discussing the &quot;Curse of the Bambino&quot; that haunted the Red Sox until their World Series win in 2004.A number of baseball superstars and Hall of Famers have played for the New York Mets over the years, including Roberto Alomar, Tom Seaver, Mike Piazza, Willie Mays, Rickey Henderson and the ever-quotable Yogi Berra.

Professional athletes are placed on literal and figurative pedestals as heroes of pop culture.

Because of this overexposure, sports consumers may feel as though they truly know their favorite basketball, baseball, or football players &ndash; after all, their lives are on constantly on display and on-demand.&nbsp;When a celebrity athlete commits a crime, suffers a mental break, or displays some other type of unexpected behavior, fans&nbsp;may feel&nbsp;shocked or even betrayed &ndash; the rich and famous are suddenly not as immune to human error as the public once thought.&nbsp;

Thanks to their fame, any instances of unusual or criminal behavior on the part of a <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-athletes-of-all-time" target="_blank">celebrity&nbsp;athlete</a> will undoubtedly be covered by countless media outlets. This coverage, whether positive or negative, will undeniably have an impact on the athlete&#39;s reputation and career, sometimes permanently. Historically, there have been plenty of athletes who have gained unwanted &ndash; or at least unexpected &ndash; attention for their behavior, and while many emerge to continue their careers unscathed, others are surely haunted by the effects of their actions indefinitely.&nbsp;Some notable cases of celebrity athlete debauchery are listed below in&nbsp;a taste of how fame can turn into misfortune.&nbsp;

The Greatest Athletes Ever

The greatest left-handed athletes of all time are some of the greatest men and women to ever play baseball, basketball, football, hockey, tennis, and many other sports. These talented athletes dominated their respective sports all while being in a minority, as a left-handed person. These athletes are not by any means all of the left-handed athletes but simply the best of the left-handed sports players ever. But which athlete is best? Tell us which left-handed athlete you think was the best ever by voting, re-ranking, and adding your favorites below!While all sports will see their share of left-handed athletes, the hand orientation will affect some athletes more than others. Being left handed is something you might not notice for hockey players, such as Terry Sawchuk and Phil Esposito, basketball players, like Larry Bird and Bill Russell, or soccer players, like the great Pele, who often use both hands – or feet – regularly while playing the sport. For other sports, it's clearer when athletes use their dominant hands. Baseball has, what might, be the highest percentage of left-handed athletes of all major sports, and they are easy to spot when one takes the mound or lines up to hit. Babe Ruth is perhaps the best left-handed athlete ever but is joined by many other legendary baseball lefties, such as Ty Cobb, Shoeless Joe Jackson, and Barry Bonds. Tennis, boxing, and golf are other sports that allow southpaws shine. It's easy to spot <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/left-handed-tennis-players/left-handed">left-handed tennis players</a> like Monica Seles and John McEnroe, boxers like Oscar de la Hoya, and golfers like the great Phil Mickelson. <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/famous-left-handed-people/left-handed">Left-handed people</a> may make up only around 10% of the population but they're some of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-athletes-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">top athletes of all time</a>. We'll never know if Deion Sanders would have seen the success he did had he been right handed or if Rafael Nadal would have ever become the King of Clay as a righty, but these talented athletes all persevered through their disadvantages to become legends, and we have nothing but respect for them for that.&nbsp;Who are some of the greatest left handed athletes?

This is a <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-fictional-sports-coaches/ranker-entertainment?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">list of sports</a> stars you would help break out of jail. For many sports fans, seeing their favorite star athlete sentenced to jail time can be heartbreaking. In team sports in particular, the good mojo of a season could be lost due to one player heading to jail. It's happened before and likely will happen again that a boneheaded athlete commits a senseless crime that lands them in prison. Jocks though, unlike other members of the population, will have fans, teammates and even coaches throwing their support behind them. In fact, there are people on this list who you would even help break out of jail. Most fans have thought about this before to save their favorite team or athlete.&nbsp;There are quite a few big named athletes on this list who have landed in jail. Some, like boxer Ruben &quot;Hurricane&quot; Carter and NFL player Brian Banks, were wrongfully imprisoned. This is a very, very rare circumstance because the athletes who are on this list are here for a reason. But that doesn't we wouldn't consider busting them out of the big house. Boxing fans of the mid-90s would have loved to see Mike Tyson knock out a few more opponents instead of languishing in jail for nearly three years. Gamblers would have broken him out of jail if Tyson would have helped them win more money. New York Giants fans would likely have helped get Plaxico Burress out of jail if ensured them of winning their second consecutive championship in 2008. Other infamous sports stars on this list may or not be assisted with a prison break, but they're on here due to the remote possibility one of their fans would consider doing it.Vote for <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/athletes-who-own-restaurants/people-in-sports?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the sports star</a> who you would consider breaking out of jail.

The MLB team with the worst record gets the first overall draft pick. You would think that would mean striking gold but <a target="_blank" href="http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2016/1/11/10746158/mlb-draft-first-overall-pick-value-hall-of-fame-star-player">history has shown otherwise</a>. Since the MLB draft first started in 1965, there have been more busts than jackpots. In fact, Ken Griffey Jr. became just the first overall pick to be inducted into the Hall of Fame when he was enshrined in 2015. That means for every Chipper Jones, there is a Steve Chilcott, who was drafted first by the Mets in 1966, and never played a single game at the Major League level. However, there are still plenty of MLB picks that go on to have productive careers in the Bigs. Here are the best #1 baseball draft picks. Although Griffey is the only player currently on this list in Cooperstown, that doesn’t mean that there won’t be others. Chipper Jones is certain to make the cut when he is eligible in 2018. And although Alex Rodriguez is statistically the best overall player on this list, baseball has yet to figure out what to do with players who are inextricably linked to performing enhancing drugs. Guys like Adrian Gonzalez, Joe Mauer, and David Price may or may not finish their careers with the prestigious numbers needed to get into the Hall, but all three have had excellent careers, with plenty of time left to prove their mettle. There may be no player on this list of best first round draft picks with more raw talent than Darryl Strawberry, if not for his off the field issues, his solid career could have been one of the best ever. There are a couple of guys on this list that are just getting their feet wet in the Majors but are already on the right road to Cooperstown. Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg are as good as any offensive player and pitcher currently in the game, and could lead the Washington Nationals all the way to the World Series. However, it takes more just talent to be labelled one of the best ever, they both need to find a way to avoid injury, and stay productive for at least another ten years. Vote up for the players who you think are the best <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/worst-first-round-mlb-draft-picks-ever/cehudspeth?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">MLB draft picks</a>.

Los Angeles Dodgers

This is a list of the greatest Los Angeles Dodgers ever. Since they moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1958, the Dodgers have been one of the most successful Major League teams. Despite an array of talent and teams that featured some of <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-baseball-players-of-all-time">the best players of all time</a>, the Dodgers won only one championship during its nearly 70 years in Brooklyn. The team made up for lost time and has won five championships since it moved west.Besides being known as the most important player in Major League history when he broke the color barrier in 1947, Jackie Robinson is one of the best Dodgers players ever. Outside of his off the field achievements, Robinson was a six-time All Star who played in six World Series and was a key contributor to the 1955 championship squad. Robinson was a rare talent who combined good instincts at the plate with speed and outstanding fielding. When he retired in 1956 after 10 seasons in Dodger Blue, Robinson was considered one of the greatest Dodgers of all time.Sandy Koufax is one of the greatest players of the Dodgers' Los Angeles period. Koufax is one of <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/greatest-pitchers-of-all-time">the best pitchers in baseball history</a>. Koufax was the first major leaguer to pitch four no-hitters (including the eighth perfect game in baseball history). Despite his comparatively short career, Koufax's 2,396 career strikeouts ranked 7th in history as of his retirement, trailing only Warren Spahn (2,583) among left-handers. He was the first pitcher to win three Cy Young Awards despite retiring due to arm problems at the age of 29. The Los Angeles Dodgers are one of baseball's storied teams. This list of the Greatest Dodgers of All Time considers every player from the Dodgers history. If there is a player you think should be on this list, feel free to add him. Vote and rerank this list according to how you think it should look.
