Message: [QUOTE="Ozimoto, post: 3974991, member: 6677"] Surprised no one mentioned one of the greatest left handed pitchers of all time, Lefty Grove. "One of the greatest pitchers in history, Grove led the American League in wins in four separate seasons, in [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strikeout']strikeouts[/URL] seven years in a row, and had the league's lowest [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earned_run_average']earned run average[/URL] a record nine times. Over the course of the three years from 1929 to 1931, he twice won the pitcher's [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_Crown_(baseball)']Triple Crown[/URL], leading the league in wins, strikeouts, and ERA, while amassing a 79–15 record and leading the Athletics to three straight AL championships.[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lefty_Grove#cite_note-1'][1][/URL] Overall, Grove won 300 games in his 17-year MLB career. He was elected to the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Baseball_Hall_of_Fame_and_Museum']National Baseball Hall of Fame[/URL] in 1947." Admittedly, he didn't pitch in the "modern" era, but he certainly was one of baseball's greatest. [/QUOTE]
