	Grover Alexander Biography by Baseball Almanac
		From 1915-17 Alexander reeled off three consecutive thirty win seasons (31,33, 30) led the league in ERA with microscopic figures of 1.22, 1.55 and 1.83, and topped the National League (NL) in shutouts (twelve, a still held Major League record sixteen, and eight).
		Alexander came at the batter with an easy sidearm motion and excellent control of his fastball and curve.
		Alexander had one more twenty win season in him (twenty-one in 1927) and won a respectable sixteen in 1928.

		Grover demonstrated that the low hypoxic ventilatory response characteristic of adult residents of high altitude is acquired during years of exposure to chronic hypoxia, because it is not present in children born in Leadville.
		Grover and Alexander showed through direct measurements of the coronary circulation that the fall in stroke volume was not a consequence of myocardial hypoxia.
		Grover and his associates demonstrated that many who suffer from both of these disorders have a poor ventilatory adaptation to altitude, with associated fluid retention, and that acetazolamide as a ventilatory stimulant (and mild diuretic) is effective prophylaxis.
