I think he means first base.

Wouldn't a left-handed catcher be better at catching a righty curveball? The pitch would be traveling across his body toward the mitt, rather than away from it...

Right-handed, left-footed, like a normal human. The rest of you sad freaks will be eliminated from the gene pool.

We are desired like blonde hair and blue eyes.

Shouldn't matter, the catcher knows the pitch and location so the glove shouldn't have to move much at all.

Right, but at some point, the pitcher is going to miss his mark. I think a lefty catcher would be more reliably able to pick it up.

Well you'd be the only one. Hasnt been a lefty catcher in MLB since 89 abd that was 1 game then you have to go back a couple innings rhroughtout the decades. And no leftys in the minor league for a long time now. Catchers are sought almost as much as lefty pitchers with velocity yet of left handed they wont even talk to you or convert you into OF.

I am goofy-footed. I box like I am a lefty, shoot pool like a lefty, but write like a normal human being. My left leg is the dominant leg, though. It's all fucked up. I don't know how this happens.

Being a southpaw boxer is an advantage like being a lefty catcher

Hell, being a lefty pitcher is an advantage as well; if you can figure out junk balls you can have a long career as a middle relief specialist

Correct on the pitcher but a consistent low 90's fastball is the building block, absolutely wrong on the catcher.

I always thought a lefty catcher was wanted because of the throw to 1st?

Or is the ideal left handed batting right handed catching?

a usuable catcher batting anywhere near the Mendoza line is ideal.
