(left handed, if you're wondering)

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).

Hardly a scientific assessment, I grant you, but I propose multiple attempts to
gain a representative sample size.

Whichever hand was closer.  Or whichever had a mitt on ;-)

I catch with either hand equally well.  But while "left-handed", I can only throw
accurately right-handed.  So I pretty much ended up catching LH, so that I wouldn't
have to catch RH, grab the ball LH, throw the glove to the ground, transfer the ball,
and throw.
