“I Should Have Been Left-handed is a story of what is possible to achieve if you have the strength and courage to pursue a dream. To read this book is an inspiration for anyone to see that they, too, can reach goals they only imagined. The book is the story of “just an average guy with a burning desire.”
Fred Weissmann, High School Classmate
“I Should Have Been Left-handed is an enjoyable read about a young man with big dreams who discovers that, while being right-handed may be a detriment to a pitching career on the baseball field, it is no handicap to even bigger accomplishments in an entirely different field of endeavor. Details of his transition from right-handed pitcher to “write-handed” author of The Essentials of Skeletal Radiology are an encouragement to anyone willing to work hard and dream big.”
Jeffrey R. Thompson, DC, DACBR, Texas Chiropractic College

Yochum, DC, DACBR whose life and career would inspire Terry to follow in his footsteps. The other was baseball, a natural channel for his competitive nature and athletic ability.
