1972 Reds NL Champs ring and brooch. Thanks to Dave Grob for helping identify the original owner of the ring. I presume the brooch was given to his wife.

I was recently able to pick up a beautifully scored program to HOF Bob Feller's last career win # 266. Feller came into this game in relief of CLE starting pitcher Herb Score and pitched the 7th and 8th inning, ultimately getting the win. The starter for the Yankees was WS Perfect Game pitcher Don Larsen. This provided an excellent complimentary piece to pair up with a ticket from the same game that I have owned for a number of years.

The ticket has some sentimental value as well, as I had Mr. Feller sign it in DET the last time my son Sam and I saw him before he passed away.
Rapid Robert signed the back of the ticket with this inscription:
"Bob Feller- Last career win # 266"

On August 27, 1955, as previously noted, it marked the last harrah for HOF Bob Feller. Ironically on the same day, HOF Sandy Koufax recorded his 1st career win.
Literally a passing of the torch for two of the greatest pitchers to ever take the mound...

The photo that I have included is one of my personal favorites. It was taken before his 1st start after he returned from WWII.

Great pickup on the Feller program Scott.

I was the under bidder, I spent part of the money you saved me on this:

Thanks Doug!
I'm sorry that I ended up stepping on you in this auction.
I was wondering if you might be bidding on this auction...

Very compelling description. Feller items always make me smile. An amazing pitcher who served the game so well until he passed.
