Red Sox Card of the Day

"Lefty" Grove
Pitching Tips - The Fast Ball. Greatest fast ball pitcher since Walter Johnson is Robert "Lefty" Grove of the Red Sox, who makes the most of his six feet two inches of height by throwing overhand. To get utmost speed on the ball, legs, back, arms and wrists must go into the pitch, with emphasis on the final snap of the wrist and fingers. Like all good fast ball pitchers, Lefty's "fireball" has a slight rise as it approaches the plate, a tiny upward curve of; perhaps, an inch that is called the "hop" and causes batters to hit under the ball and pop it into the air. Boys under sixteen should be careful not to overwork or strain their arms in trying for too much speed.

George Clyde Kell broke into the American League in Philadelphia in 1943. In 1950 he played 157 games at third base, tieing the major league record. Led American League third basemen in double plays, 1946-1951. Led A.L. batting 1949 (.343), and in 1950 led in games played (157), times at bat (641), hits (218), and doubles (56).



After a slow start in '92, Mo wound up 2nd on the Red Sox in homers. A powerful lefthanded slugger, Mo is regarded by the Red Sox as one of the top prospects they have developed over the past few years. He was a first round draft choice out of Seton Hall in '89, achieving All-America honors and a composite three-year batting average of .417.



At last given a chance to play regularly, Felix developed into one of the A.L.'s top power hitters in 1964. Began his career in 1952 at Evansville.
