Does writing with your left hand make you left handed, or, as in my case, since I’m basically right-handed predominant except for writing (and who writes anymore, anyway) would I be considered right-handed?

If you saw that a baseball was about to smack you in your noggin from directly in front of you, would you catch/deflect it with your left or right hand? (Assuming, of course, that simple dodging was not an option).

Hmm, I feel like I would block with my left hand/arm, but I am probably right handed (I used to mix hands for some tasks, less so now). Of course without a reflex test, who knows. I wonder though if you would tend to block with your off hand reflexively protecting your more valuable dominant hand?

Well, it’s clear that you and Purple Dave have thought about this more carefully than I did. Shame on me for coming up with a weak example!

Dave! (still left-handed)

Since you are admittedly baseball-knowledge challenged, I will tell you that if you are right handed, you’d probably attempt to catch/deflect the ball with your left hand (the hand that would normally wear the baseball glove). The right hand (dominant) is used for throwing.
