Baseball pitchers are only referred to as a Southpaw if they're left handed, it's more common for left handed pitchers to be referred to as a Southpaw but it's just a general term for anyone who is left handed.
No WAY Right Handed pitchers break their arms during pitching too
No pitcher has ever thrown 2 perfect games.
The American League uses a designated hitter. Some exceptions: If an American League team plays at a National League Park (Yankees play at Shea Stadium or the new Citi Field against the Mets) then the American League team can't use a Designated Hitter. If a National League team plays at an American League Park (Mets play at Yankees Stadium) then the National League team is allowed to use a designated hitter.

In most rules, once a pitcher is removed as pitcher, he may not return to the position of pitchers. Only certain leagues have by-laws that would allow this for a starting pitcher, let alone a reliever.
No pitcher has ever hit 2 home runs in one World Series game. Bob Gibson and Dave McNally are the only two pitchers to have hit 2 home runs in their World Series careers.
No. Both the American and National Leagues must follow the same rules listed in the Official MLB Rules. The only difference between the leagues is that the National Leagues chooses not to use the Designated Hitter rule. Both leagues have the option to use that rule if they want to, but it is not mandatory for any league to use it in any game.
designated hitter. In the major leagues DH's are only used in the American League. In the NL league the pitcher has to bat. Basically it is a designated hitter for the pitchers. But when AL and NL teams play each other the AL team does need to bat their pitcher.
No, only runs scored unless it was home plate that was stolen, in that case, yes it would count.
