Answer : The term 'Southpaw' owes its origin to either baseball(A) or boxing (B). Ballparks are often designed so that batters are facing east, so that the afternoon or evening sun does not shine in their eyes. This means that left-handed pitchers are throwing with their south-side arm. The Oxford English Dictionary lists a non-baseball citation for "south paw", meaning a punch with the left hand, as early as 1848. 'Southpaw' is also the name of a Morrissey (C) song and a character in She-Hulk (D).
