I suppose the fact that the REAL Joe Jackson batted lefty but was portrayed as a righty on Field of Dreams doesn't count?

Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth had a movie made about them. Then there was Gary Cooper portraying Gehrig.

I remember that they had a heck of a time teaching Coop to hit left handed, So they fiddled with the film to make it realistic. Of course one of the guys that played Gehrig's teammate was a pretty good lefty batter in Pride of the Yankees
