Pretty sure one of the left-handers was Keith Hernandez
P.S. Cheated, and I didn't consider one position initially. Do switch-hitters count?

Hernandez is correct. Two others.
For the GG question the left handedness is for throwing, not hitting.

I knew Hernandez because I've been a Mets fan since my mom took me to games when I was knee high (I think dad was a Yankees fan though)
As I said, I cheated for the others, though in hindsight it helps to realize what positions lefties play.
