Two areas where being left-handed can be an advantage:

1.  Baseball - the proportion of major league baseball players who are
left-handed is much higher than the general population, because
left-handed people are often an advantage, especially at 1st base
pitching, and the need for left-handed batters.

2.  Hockey - Normally, a left-handed person is preferred on the
left wing

(I know this wasn't too much of a list, but a little thought
would probably turn up other examples, as well as some
non-sports related examples.)
