*"Grover and his brother
Lou Lowdermilk both pitched for the 1911 Cardinals. Grover was 6'4" and lean, with long fingers, and was favorably compared toWalter Johnson - except that he couldn't control his blazingfastball . He was a member of the 1919 Black Sox but was not involved in the scandal." – [http://www.baseballlibrary.com/baseballlibrary/ballplayers/L/Lowdermilk_Grover.stm William A. Borst]ee also
