KN: whats in the box?
KK: My mom sent me my old mitt from massacdusettes!!
KN: How come the mitt says "for righties" when it fits on your left hand?
KK: as far as baseball goes mitt likes to swing both ways!!
IIRC, there was a pitcher who could pitch equally well with both hands and he had a mitt custom made for his needs. There was a bit of a problem when he faced a switch hitter the first time. Baseball resolved the situation by making a rule about not being able to switch handedness during an at bat for either the hitter or pitcher. Basically “Pick one and stick with it.”
I have asked 20 people- if the race is between Biden and Trump, with a third party run by Romney and Machin as centrists, who would you vote for. The people ranged from far left to far right. 17 of them said Romney/Manchin without hesitation, and the two centrists said they had to think about it, and one person on the left worried that if they voted for Romney they would help Trump. All 20 said they thought Romney would be the best at the job. I like Biden and think he has accomplished a lot in office, but I would go for a Romney/Manchin ticket.
I guess the joke here is that a right-handed player usually wears the glove on the left hand (and throws with the bare right hand). Kerstin, being German, might not know this.
I could never use my brother’s fielder’s glove, because he’s left-handed and I’m right-handed. That wasn’t as bad, though, as when I tried to use his lefty scissors.

Relax, just keep ignoring the growing climate crisis. “It’s perfectly clear that it can’t happen here”. . . repeat as needed.
