[edit] Lefty?

Watching What's My Line, airing on GSN on 2 Aug 2006. The contestant's line is a shop with "Items for left handed people," and it is revealed that Bert is left-handed (and could not cut a piece of paper correctly with scissors as of that day). Copyright on the episode is 1969, after the end of the World Series; the mystery guest is Phil Rizzuto; and the panel is Soupy Sales, Sheila McRae, Bert and Arlene Francis. Usable as a source? —C.Fred (talk) 02:40, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

A source of what? That he's left handed? I think general non-inflamitory statements like that don't necessarily even need a citation, but that would certainly do as one (he himself saying it). I saw the episode too. TheHYPO 22:41, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
While it's great to source everything, I would agree that it is more important to stick to published, reliable sources when asserting that someone is gay, an alcoholic, a spouse abuser, or something like that than it is that they are/were left-handed. Didn't that come out on Win, Lose, or Draw at some point as well? Rlquall 16:23, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
