The more I learn about baseball, the more interesting it seems, which is weird because I'm not really a sports person

Anyways I wanna share something neat that I learned but I'm gonna preface this by saying that I'm not "into" baseball. I'm just visiting the baseball zoo and reading the little blurbs the have on the cages

With that out of the way, when you swing a bat, your momentum naturally goes with the bat, right? So for righties, immediately after batting, their momentum starts to take them to third base, meaning they have to fight against the bat's momentum before running to first

But for lefties, the bat's momentum is already taking them to first! Apparently lefties can, on average, reach first base a sixth of a second faster than righties

Apparently it also makes a difference in receiving a pitch, since a righty receiving a pitch from a righty will see it coming from behind their shoulder, but a lefty receiving a pitch from a righty can clearly see the ball

Because of this, they started bringing in lefty pitchers to counteract the lefty batters and the result is a sport with 2-4x as many lefties as the general public

On the one hand, a lot of things suck in the world right now.

On the other hand, @sizzlingsandwichperfection-blog & @edwardspoonhands 's annual charity event - the Project for Awesome - this weekend has been full of joy & hope & silliness & profundity & determination to do good and has, so far, raised over $3.17million - money which will be split between Save the Children, Partners in Health, & charities voted on by the community.

The livestream isn't even over yet; there's still 8hrs to go!

Really cool write up that links to the original paper that just came out this year (2025)!

This is a really cool example of foraging innovation.
