Celebrity Facts

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.

This is a&nbsp;list of every guest star on Curb Your Enthusiasm with pictures, including all celebrity guest appearances. Guest performers most often play special guest roles, but sometimes they even play themselves. More often than not, guest stars appear during what is known as &quot;sweeps,&quot;&nbsp;when a television show's Nielsen ratings are scrutinized to decide how much the network can charge for that show's ad space.Sweeps take place in November, February, May, and July every television season. Unlike a &quot;cameo appearance&quot; in which a star may only appear on screen for a few seconds, and may not even have lines, guest roles typically have substantial screen time with story arches that can spread throughout multiple episodes.

John McEnroe

John Patrick McEnroe Jr. (born February 16, 1959) is an American retired tennis player. He was known for his shot-making artistry and volleying skills, and for confrontational on-court behavior that frequently landed him in trouble with umpires and tennis authorities.
McEnroe attained the No. 1 ranking in both singles and doubles, finishing his career with 77 singles and 78 doubles titles; this remains the highest men's combined total of the Open Era. He won seven Grand Slam singles titles, four at the US Open and three at Wimbledon, and nine men's Grand Slam doubles titles. His singles match record of 82–3 in 1984 remains the best single season win rate of the Open Era.
McEnroe also excelled at the year-end tournaments, winning eight singles and seven doubles titles, both of which are records. Three of his winning singles year-end championships were at the Masters Grand Prix (the ATP year-end event) and five were at the World Championship Tennis (WCT) Finals, an event which ended in 1989.  Since 2000, there has been only one year-end men's singles event, the ATP Finals (the new name for the Masters Grand Prix). He was named the ATP Player of the Year and the ITF World Champion three times each: 1981, 1983 and 1984.
McEnroe contributed to five Davis Cup titles for the U.S. and later was team captain. He has stayed active in retirement, often competing in senior events on the ATP Champions Tour. He has also worked as a television commentator during the majors.

The Greatest Athletes Ever

Controversial

Sports stars are one part celebrity, one part athlete. Like so many celebrities, some sports stars are prone to scandal. These sports stars are were involved some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/biggest-boxing-controversies/dannyrichman?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">biggest controversies</a> of all time, and many remain controversial figures to this day despite being retired.O.J Simpson is perhaps the biggest controversial athlete of all time, for &quot;not killing his ex-wife&quot; in 1994. Remember when one of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-top-nba-players-of-all-time">best NBA players</a>&nbsp;of all time, LeBron James, took his talents to South Beach? That was definitely a case of a sports star who caused controversy. And then, of course, there's Anna Kournikova, who has caused controversy simply for <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/songs-about-beauty/ranker-music?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">being beautiful</a>.Which athletes do you think are the most controversial of all time? What is your definition of controversy? Is it off-the-field antics like the domestic drama surrounding Tiger Woods, or is it on-the-court antics like John McEnroe's famous profane meltdowns? Which is worse, steroids or biting off someone's ear? The choice is yours!

Athletes

This list of athletes whose careers ended too soon includes dozens of promising athletes who for one reason or another were forced to leave the sports they loved well before they should have. Their stories are often tragic and leave their family members, teammates, opponents and fans wondering what could have happened had their careers continued. Sadly, we'll never know the answer to that one as these athletes all left their respective sports prematurely.Some of the greatest players to ever compete in sports like football, basketball, hockey and baseball were forced into retirement due to an injury. Even others were taken not only from professional sports but also from this life following a tragic incident which caused their death. Be it an injury or a complete loss of life, all of these athletes had plenty left to give but a catastrophic event changed all that.For many of these players, retiring at the top of their game was their decision after repeated injuries made it difficult to compete at a top level. Legendary Boston Bruins <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/hockey-players-missing-teeth/brandon-oliver?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">hockey player Bobby</a> Orr, NBA star Yao Ming and Super Bowl-winning quarterback Troy Aikman are just a few who fall into that category. Others suffered a one-time injury, sometimes on national television during a big game, that gave them no choice but to retire. Joe Theismann, a legendary National Football League quarterback, fell into that category following what is perhaps <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/memorable-oscar-moments/ranker-film?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the most memorable</a> hit in league history. While those players retired and often remained in the sport in a broadcasting role, others were not so lucky. Sadly, this list also includes athletes who died suddenly during their professional athletic careers. Those stories are heartbreaking, such as the up-and-coming Los Angeles Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart who was killed by a drunk driver and NFL-player turned U.S. Army soldier Pat Tillman who was killed serving his country. As hard as it is to find something positive from these career-ending tragedies, each of them have raised awareness about ways that incidents like this can be prevented in the future. I can't think of any better way to honor these fine athletes than making the world a brighter place.

Tennis, Anyone?

Who are the greatest men&#39;s tennis players of all time? When you&#39;re talking about the best players over a period of decades in any sport, the list is probably going to be long, and highly debatable. This list includes some of the greatest male tennis players to ever step on the court. And yes, they include those who played pre-1968, though many listed here are among the <a href="/list/greatest-male-tennis-players-of-the-open-era/siege" target="_blank">greatest male tennis players of the open era (post-&#39;68)</a>. Vote for the best, vote down any players you don&#39;t think deserve a spot up top and of course, feel free to rerank this list however you want. Any list of outstanding male tennis players should include names like Roger Federer, John McEnroe, Rafael Nadal and Bj&Atilde;&para;rn Borg&mdash;as these guys are easily the top tennis players. Debate about who gets the number one spot might get heated, but all of us probably agree that the names listed here should be considered among the best, and in some cases, some of the <a href="/crowdranked-list/best-athletes-of-all-time" target="_blank">greatest athletes of all time</a>, regardless of sport.

Comedy

The funniest professional athletes are the stars of the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL who don't just amaze fans with their athletic skills but also keep their fans and teammates laughing with their jokes, antics and other assorted hilarity. Should these pro athletes ever need a second job or a new career once their football, baseball, basketball or hockey days end, comedy or entertainment would be a great choice.For the most part, fans see what the athletes do on the field as they watch games in person or on television but on rare occasions we get a glimpse into how these beloved sports stars act in real life. Some athletes make that easy with their constant tweeting, like New England Patriots wide out Chad Ochocinco, the NHL's best fourth-liner Paul Bissonnette and retired NBA star Shaquille O'Neal. These guys aren't just some of the most followed and most active athletes on Twitter but also easily the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/funniest-athlete-tweets/sportsyeah" target="_blank">funniest athletes on Twitter</a>.Going beyond social media, other athletes let fans into their lighter side with special appearances and other online fan interactions. Baller Steve Nash, mullet-lover Jared Allen and all-star pitcher C.J. Wilson are all frequent stars of their own YouTube videos where they do all kinds of wacky things. MLB player Brian Wilson, whose beard alone could get a laugh, has also starred in hilarious videos, in between other antics like showing up to the ESPY Awards in a spandex tuxedo and filming funny commercials.Others have more of a subtle sense of humor that comes out in small doses during media appearances and locker room interviews. There is however a trend for impersonations, just as Dwight Howard, who can do a mean impersonation of coach Stan Van Gundy, or Pittsburgh Steeler Crezdon Butler who can do a hilarious impersonation of coach Mike Tomlin. However these athletes are funny, they show us a softer, more human side of our favorite sports stars. Since we can't get all of our <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/athletes-who-should-get-a-reality-show/the-round-mound " target="_blank">favorites athletes to share their lives with reality shows</a>, these brief looks into their lives, whether it's scripted comedy or just them being their funny selves, will have to do.

This list of the greatest male tennis players of the Open Era includes some of the most iconic names in men's tennis. Who are the best male singles tennis players since the game became open (professionals included) in 1968? Some might argue that Roger Federer is, without question, one of the best - if not *the* best men's tennis player of all time. Disagree? That's totally fine, just cast your votes as you see fit and, if you want, you can also re-rank this list in any order you like.

Sure, Nadal may rule the clay courts, but where does he stack up in the bigger picture, especially against the likes of Pete Sampras, Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg?

Does Novak Djokovic deserve to be listed here? He's arguably one of the <a href="/list/the-top-current-men-and-_39_s-tennis-players/ranker-sports" target="_blank">top current men's tennis players</a>. Andy Murray? Same situation.

When it comes to celebrities who don't act their age, Hollywood pretty much has an endless supply. Not that acting like a kid is always a bad thing. Sometimes celebrities who are immature can be hilarious, entertaining us with their antics in movies or TV shows. (What kind of world would this be without Will Ferrell acting like a jealous step-brother, adorable elf, or self-obsessed anchorman?) But other times, immature celebrities can be super annoying.&nbsp; Their constant attempts to prove just how &quot;shocking&quot; or &quot;edgy&quot; the are leads to ridiculously bad behavior that the whole world has to put up with.So which famous immature people are the most childish of them all? This list will help us finally figure it out. Less than impressed with Miley's many Instagram photos of her new sex toys? Totally over naked selfies from Kim Kardashian-West? Literally can't stand anything Justin Bieber does? You're not alone!

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>.

Smarts

The smartest professional athletes include Rhodes Scholars, 1580 SAT scorers, and<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/athletes-who-went-to-ivy-league-schools/people-in-sports" target="_blank"> Ivy League</a> standouts whose book smarts and pure intelligence is equally as impressive as their athletic ability. Smart athletes come from all sports with members of the NFL, NHL, NBA and MLB among those who could easily be doctors, lawyers and very successful businessmen.While typically athletes are stereotyped as meatheads or big dumb animals, these athletes from football, basketball, hockey and baseball have nearly as many accomplishments off the field as they do on. These are not the athletes who skipped college or left early for the promise of big bucks playing professional sports. These are the athletes who made the tough decision to stay in school and earn a degree to carry them once their professional career ended.Take NFL safety Myron Rolle for example. He didn't just graduate premed from Florida State University in 2 1/2 years but went on to earn a master's from Oxford. He's far from the only smarty pants in the NFL though. Ryan Fitzpatrick isn't just the fifth quarterback to throw for 300-plus yards in his debut but also the 2004 Ivy League MVP while pursuing an economics degree at Harvard.As if we didn't need another reason to hate be jealous of professional athletes with their fame, fortune and <a href="http://www.ranker.com/tags/wags" target="_blank">hot wives</a>, these highly successful athletes are also way <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/smartest-famous-people/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">smarter than us</a>.

A list of athletes who are passionately loved and hated by sports fans. These divisive, controversial sports stars inspire both love and bile from the fan community in equal measure. Is Allen Iverson among the greatest players of his day, or an arrogant ball hog? Does Tim Tebow keep pulling out these miraculous victories because of innate ability, or is he coasting off the skill and tenacity of his teammates? Is Barry Bonds a stoic hero, or the ultimate baseball villain? These questions and more have divided sports fans and caused more bar room arguments, than any political decision in recent memory. And with good cause. This list collects the most argued-about and widely discussed figures from the world of sports. Vote for the players you love to hate (or hate to love), and if we've missed any athletes that make you bicker with your friends over beers, be sure to suggest them <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/things-found-at-the-bottom-of-lakes/christopher-shultz?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">at the bottom</a> of the page.Who are <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-controversial-songs-ever/sean-kelly?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the most controversial</a> athletes?
