nope, Early ball fields were built so that home plate faced to the east. That way, the late afternoon sun wouldn't be in the batter's eyes, a dangerous situation when a baseball is thrown in your direction. The pitcher faced west, and if he was left handed, the ball would be thrown with his south side hand, his "south paw".

You know what, all these years telling people that I am a south paw - I had no idea where the original meaning came from. Thanks for the enlightment there bud.
