The Sabermagics proudly select the second greatest pitcher of all time, Robert Moses Grove, more widely known as "Lefty Grove."
"He was a moody guy, a tantrum thrower like me," Ted Willams once recalled of Lefty Grove, "but when he punched a locker or something, he always did it with his right hand. He was a careful tantrum thrower."
