Are there any left handed catchers in Major League Baseball?
It is not "natural" for a lefty to play second base, third base, or short stop. This is because of the footwork needed to make a play to first and second bases and the need for a lefty to turn his body around to make a throw. This would put a double-play combination at a severe disadvantage. In the infield that leaves first base. It is not uncommon to see lefties pitching or playing outfield.

How many home games are there in an MLS season?
(depending on the federation in question)
League:
Every team plays against all other teams twice (once at home, once away).
Cup:
A random draw is made, 50-50 chances of getting a home or away game. Semi-finals are two-legged (one home game, one away). Final is on neutral ground.
"League Cups" (tournaments):
A pre-tournament knock-out can be required to level the number of teams, again with a random draw. Then a group stage, similar to a league. Then a knock-out stage, similar to a cup.
So, if there are 16 teams in a league, each team has 15 home games for the league. If there are 128 teams in a cup, there could be anywhere between 1 and 5 home cup games.
