The Best Lefthanded Batters and Lefthanded Pitchers in Baseball
Lefty Grove, Carl Hubbell, Lefty Gomez and Warren Spahn were a step above the rest,
but there were many other lefthanded pitchers among the best of their time.
Hal Newhouser pitched 17 years in the major leagues (from 1939 to 1955), 15 of them with the Detroit Tigers. He finished with 207 wins and 150 losses, and 212 complete games in 374 starts.
