Robert Redford played left-hander Roy Hobbs in the 1984 baseball film “The Natural”. As a young Roy Hobbs he was a great left-handed pitcher, and as an older Roy Hobbs he was a great left-handed hitter. It might have also been clear from his earlier work in western movies, such as the 1969 classic “Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid” that Redford was left-handed and he was very fast and accurate with his gun. This does not account for the fact that he writes with his right hand, but since he is a left-handed athlete and a left-handed gunslinger, we’ll keep him as a member of the fraternity.
