A Lot Of Lefties

[stevea]

I saw this thread on other sitcom sites, and I've always wondered about Christopher Knight. He seems to be right-handed, but bats and throws left-handed. Has anyone else noticed this?

Yes, a college roommate of mine was similar, wrote & ate right-handed and threw left-handed. His mother was the opposite, but they both played tennis right-handed. I'm left-handed myself, so I noticed this awhile ago. Chris Knight was the only Brady cast member who was any part left-handed. For their tv neighbors, the Partridges, Dave Madden was left-handed but the rest of the cast members were right-handed. Among the Gilligan's Island cast, Russell Johnson, who coincidentally died the same day as Dave Madden, was the only lefty in the cast.

Lisa Kudrow who was Phoebe from "Friends" was the only lefty in the regular cast of that series.
