Bobo Newsom: "People will probably think I'm lying when I say this, but Lefty Grove never beat me and I guess we hooked up 18 or 20 times. Sometimes Lefty or myself left early and neither of us got the win or loss, but he never beat me. Look it up."

Bobo Newsom, winner of 211 big league games (1929-53): "I wouldn't let a boy throw a curve until he was at least 17. Throwing curves is the reason these kids come up with a lot of sore arms. When I broke into the big league, I didn't throw eight curves all year. You look at most of your great pitchers and you'll find they've generally been fast-ballers- which is the reason they had few sore arms."
