Hal Newhouser Videos

Hal Newhouser videos can be found throughout baseball history. Baseball: A film by Ken Burns, was the story of America's national pastime - an epic overflowing with heroes and hopefuls, scoundrels and screwballs. The saga brought to life rare images of baseball players hardly ever seen and in that vein Baseball Almanac is bringing to you Hal Newhouser videos that have been researched by hand and specifically chosen to illustrate the life and times of this ballplayer.

"Newhouser, tall, blond and curly-haired, is a sort of right-handed Lefty Grove. He has a good fast ball that does things as it flutters across the letters on a batter's shirt. He has a good curve too, and during a couple of games in the spring training season, broke off a couple that were reminiscent of the curve of Tommy Bridges, which is regarded as Grade A-1." - Sportswriter Charles P. Ward in Baseball Magazine (September 1940)
