I'm curious if the person on the far left of the picture is ambidextrous. Their sidearm is holstered on their left hip implying they are left hand dominant, yet they are also wearing the baseball glove on their left hand when typically you'd catch with your off/weaker hand and throw with your dominant one.
something tells me that just might not be his glove lol.
considering he's wearing a police uniform and pistol belt.
Then he must not intend on throwing anything he catches unless he's at least partially ambidextrous.
EDIT: For some reason I'm ignoring this was likely just a staged photograph and he isn't throwing or catching anything. Disregard me :)
he's a cop posing for a photo op at a ballgame.
what do you think he's going to throw?
Initially my brain was bucketing the photo with recent pictures posted of Fidel playing basketball so I was operating under the assumption there were friendly games being played between the pictured parties. Obviously it's far more likely it was just a simple staged photograph where the glove was traded with the gun and neither were actually in use.
