Philadelphia A's All Time LH Pitcher |
Lefty Grove
1925 - 1941
300 - 141 record, 3.06 ERA
Regarded by many as the greatest pitcher of all time, Grove led the 1929-31 Athletics dynasty by posting records of 20-6, 28-5 and 31-4. But financial problems forced Connie Mack to sell his star pitcher to the Red Sox after the 1933 season. His .680 lifetime winning percentage is eighth all-time, and his lifetime ERA of 3.06 (when adjusted for the hitters' parks he played in and his era) is the best of any pitcher in history at 48 percent above average. |
