A losing team might call this a conspiracy, but it’s really only science: while 90% of the human population is right-handed, in baseball 25% of the players, both pitchers, and hitters, are lefties. The game of baseball is actually designed to favor left-handed players.

It really did look like the alien aircraft in films. It had an antenna fixed to the back.”
