Three years ago I broke my left hand playing softball. For the next three weeks I was forced hold my indicator in the right hand, as well as remove my mask with the right. For the mask, after removing it I could transfer it over to one of the fingers sticking out of my cast. The cast left three fingers exposed, so I was still able to flash a slightly crippled three ball count.

It felt awkward at first, but after a few games I had my backward routine down pat.

When the cast came off, doing things the right way again felt backwards! It took a couple more games to get settled back into the normal routine.

I'm a righty and using the left hand to work the indicator is now as second nature as catching a ball with a glove worn on the left hand.
