Lefty Grove
Talkin' 'round the pot belly stove
'bout being related to Lefty Grove.
If we share DNA -
then why can't I play?
Why am I so clumsy with a ball and a glove?
Hall of fame pitcher Robert Moses "Lefty" Grove is my 3rd cousin twice removed, related to me through my Grandfather Merlyn Guessford. Another left handed pitcher with more than 200 wins, Earl Whitehill is my 1st cousin twice removed, related through my Grandmother Alice (Merlyn's wife). In the one face to face meeting between them (the first between 2 left handed pitchers with more than 200 wins) Lefty got the win!
