Allen the previous year, he recap
tured the league hurting champion
ship with an average Of .750-A
wins and 8 losses.
Grove started his career strictly
as a "frebaIl" pitcher. He had
speed to burn-probably the fastest
ball of all left-handers. He was
nothing more than a thrower, pour
ing on the speed every time a bat
ter faced him. He kept that up as
long as he was able, but the crack
ing point finally came.
His arm went bad. It became
sore for the first time. No longer
could he rely solely upon speed. It
was then that he became finished
pitcher. He developed . curve ball
and . change Of pace. Instead Of
smoking In every pitch, Grove stud
led his batter, outsmarting him.
In those IS years Grove worked
in more than $50 games. He was rs
years old, four years older than Bob
Teller is today, when he showed up
for work with Connie Mack's 1925
Athletics. He played his first pro-
fessional ball with the Martins
burg team of the Blue Ridge league
back in 1920.
And through all those years is
woven that thread Of 286 victories
reason enough for Robert Moses
Grove to top any list Of all-time
great southpaws.

Connie Mack, who never did throw
his money around, paid the Balti-
more Orioles $105, 900 for Lefty-the
most expensive player he had ever

his best nine years, Connie passed
him on to Tom Yawkey's Red Sox

Grove was thought to be all
