For three decades, Louis Norman "Bobo" Newsom (1907-1962) was one
of the most well-known pitchers in baseball. Frequently quoted by
sportswriters, he appeared in all the popular sports publications
as well as on Wheaties boxes and bubblegum cards, and was the
undisputed star of the 1940 World Series. Despite his success, he
was sold or traded 14 times during his 20-year career. He pitched
for nine of 16 Major League teams - including five stints with the
Washington Senators - and made sports headlines nearly every year
for holding out, being suspended or traded. In an era when players
seldom changed teams more than once and rarely defied authority,
Newsom seemed always at odds with the powers that be. Drawing on
interviews with family, friends and former teammates, this first
full-length biography of Newsom takes an entertaining look at the
life and career of one of sports' most memorable characters.
Despite his nickname and nonstop antics, Bobo was much more than a
clown, and gave more to the game than he ever got from it.
