For today is the day we celebrate you John Crotty
Posted by Skull N. Ball
Today is International John Crotty Day, otherwise known as International Left Hander’s Day.
Take time out today to acknowledge the plight of guys like John Crotty, myself and somewhere around 5-15% of the world’s population. We’re more prone to allergies, insomnia, migraines, and are 3x more likely to be alcoholics.
But it’s not all bad for us southpaws. We tend to have higher IQ’s then you right handed lames, many of us scoring over 140 on IQ tests. We’re often times more artistic and creative then you people.
We’ve gotten a bad rap through out history. In the 1600’s they believed us to be witches and warlocks, WTF? But now it’s time for lefty tolerance and understanding.
The Crotty Kid is not alone either. Here are some more notable left handed Pistons: Stacey Augmon, Marvin Barnes, Derrick Coleman, Bison Dele (R.I.P.), Lionel Hollins, Bob Lanier, Pepe Sanchez, and Tayshaun Prince. (Honorable mention for Dave Cowens)

I’m guessing that game was a blowout.

August 14th, 2009 at 12:14 am[...] IT DOWN A. It was International Left Hander’s Day on Thursday. And the Pistons Nation celebrated International John Crotty’s Day. We celebrate along right with them. All hail John [...]
August 14th, 2009 at 3:00 pmJohn Crotty, Pepe Sanchez and (not a lefty) Steve Henson gave smallish white kids with little athleticism the inspiration that they actually could make it in the NBA.
