Synopsis:

Lefty Grove may have been baseball's best pitcher. He was certainly one of its most interesting. A three-hundred-game winner during 1925-41, he captured an unmatched nine ERA and five winning-percentage titles. While starring for the Philadelphia Athletics he was known for "a fastball and a mean disposition," qualities best exemplified in 1931, when he won thirty-one games and wrecked a clubhouse. Grove finished his career with the Boston Red Sox, where he injured his arm and reconstructed himself as a fabulous control artist. Jim Kaplan is a former writer for Sports Illustrated and the author of numerous books, including "Pine-tarred" and "Feathered: A Year on the Baseball Beat".
