Thanks...

Back to baseball: It's unlikely Andrew Jackson batted at all. Baseball was a townies game, and Andy was pure country. He died in 1845 (aged 78, pretty old for those days), only three years after the Knickerbocker Club in New York City arranged the first games using Alexander Cartwright's rules.

But IF Jackson did play "rounders," he would have batted left. He was, after all, the FIRST modern-day Democratic president.
