We discussed a few different ideas but settled on this classic shot of Rapid Robert from 1937 ( I believe from the 3 stripes on the socks). The picture was black and white but we managed to find the proper uniform colors from a book he had. I really think it came out great. You see certain images in black and white so often that when someone puts it in color it looks like something completely unseen.

Very cool. Feller was a great representative and advocate for the game. While his autograph is so common due to how prolific a signer he was, I never tire of seeing his signature and it reminds me of what a great player and guy he was.
