Lefty had arm trouble in 1934. That was just after he was traded to the Red Sox. That is the time when Lefty lost his fastball and had to use other (slower) pitches to stay on top. The Red Sox even pulled some of his teeth thinking that teeth problems were causing his arm problems. He had it so rough, that Connie Mack even offered to take back Lefty because of all the problems.
