Number Thirty-Seven: Lefty Grove.


Lefty Grove had a fastball he could control and a temper he could not when he played for the Philadelphia Athletics. His best seasons were down there before he came to Boston. But the years he had in Boston (1934-1941) weren't too shabby either. He got his temper under control and because of a bum arm he learned to throw a curveball. He won 105 games for Boston. He threw 119 complete games and had fifteen shut outs. He won his 300 game on July 25, 1941, it was the last one he'd win.
