TIL that left-handers are also called southpaws.

It comes from baseball. Southpaw pitchers have an advantage

I thought it was from boxing?

I am corrected.

The usual story is that is is about pitchers, but the timeline is wrong. The first official baseball game is cited as in 1846, with "southpaw" occurring in 1848 already referring to boxing.

Cool, thanks for confirming (i.e. doing my research for me :-).
