Famous Lefties
View groupLeft-handed people are a rare breed—only 10 percent of the general population is a lefty.

Legendary lefty athletes include baseball player Babe Ruth and basketball star Larry Bird. They're in good company with a wide variety of famous faces from President Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey to composer Wolfgang Mozart and entrepreneur Bill Gates.
