They are there in their proper proportions. Lefty is a new addition this year. In the past I have kept it out of the lists since there is no guarantee that a left-handed player will be the only recipient of the name. However, since it was such a common moniker, I decided to include it this year. I just plan to change any righties to southpaws that end up with it. If this is not your preferred solution, you can easily delete the name from the lists before starting up a league.

P.S. Rube is in the lists, but it actually was not very common before the turn of the century.
