This article gave me an excited moment of I-told-you-so, unfortunately no one was around to tell. My November birthday always screwed me when it came to age-limited sports (versus academic enrollment limits) where I was playing with kids a year (or two) behind me in school — which was really self-affirming.
This article talks about how kids in sports who are born earlier in the year have an advantage of (physical) maturity over children who are born closer to the end of the year, and because sport is all about winning a coach is going to choose the older child over the younger more often than not.
I had the added bonus of being left-handed.
