Lefty Greenwood, “Warren’s Babe Ruth,” reputedly hit the longest homer in three local communities, into the yard of a Haile Street home at Warren’s Burr’s Hill Park (his competitor for that title is Ben Ferrazzano), over the roof of Bristol’s Byfield School onto Church Street, and over the trees onto Fall River’s Pine Street at Ruggles Park.

He played in thirty-six Warren versus Bristol Baseball Little World Series games between 1924 and 1937, finishing with six triples and two home runs.  In 1930 he hit .450 with a three-bagger and a four-bagger.

In the Warren Twilight Baseball League Lefty was a member of the Champions Independents in 1925, a top ten hitter (.344) for the Champions Nelcos in 1926, the All Star first baseman with a batting average of .345 in 1933, the 1934 the All Star first baseman, the All Star center fielder in 1935, and the second leading hitter at .422 in 1936.  He managed in the league in 1947 and 1948.  (In 1928 Warren did not have a Twilight League “due to the refusal of many to contribute a few cents,” and, as a result, Lefty played in Bristol, where he led their league with an average of .535.  In 1929 and 1930 he hit .518 – second place – and .392 in the Bristol standings.)

He played for the Providence Amateur Baseball League champions in 1927 and 1928 and was a 1931 All Star in the Providence Twilight Baseball League.  Those All Stars traveled to the Springfield Fair and won the New England Amateur Baseball Championship.  Earlier in the year he won a game by walking and, even though he was not an especially fast runner, stealing second, third, and home.

In 1930 he played for Baileys and led the Fall River East Baseball League with a batting average of .413.
