BIO: Louis Norman Newsom (Buck) was born in Hartsville, SC and died in 962 in Orlando, FL. He played major league baseball from 929 to 953 as pitcher for the Brooklyn Robins, Chicago Cubs, St. Louis Browns, Washington Senators, Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers, Philadelphia Athletics, New York Yankees, and the New York Giants, appeared in the 940 and 947 World Series, and was selected 4 times as an All-Star. Newsom was known as a somewhat eccentric and emotional personality, typically referring to everyone, and also himself in the third person, as "Bobo". Newsom pitched valiantly in a losing cause in Game Seven of the 940 World Series with the Detroit Tigers, two days after pitching a shutout in honor of his father, who had died while visiting from South Carolina and watching his son win the opener. Bobo had said before pitching Game Five "I'll win this one for my daddy." When manager Del Baker named Newsom to take the mound for Game Seven, Bobo was asked by reporters, "will you win this one for your daddy too?" "Why, no," Newsom said, "I think I'll win this one for old Bobo." Upon his retirement in 953, he was the last major leaguer to have played in the 920s to still be active. Newsom is mentioned in the poem "Lineup for Yesterday" by Ogden Nash: N is for Newsom, Bobo's favorite kin. You ask how he's here, He talked himself in.
