Glad to a post that contains Spahn. You talk about No Hobby Love - this is one of the best examples out there. Here is a fact -
WARREN SPAHN IS THE WINNINGEST LEFT HANDER PITCHER ALL TIME!
Yes he is, and number 5 all time regardless of how you throw the ball.
Others argue, Koufax etc., but this is undeniable - if the GOAT is by wins - Warren Spahn is the best left handed pitcher ever!
Maybe it was his personality, maybe it was because he was from Oklahoma (although Mantle was), who knows. If you don't own his 1948 Bowman, purchase it now as he will remain the winningest left handed pitcher to ever play the game.
Here is an autographed orginal score card from his 300th win. Enjoy!
