That is a great man. He is certainly in the conversation when it comes to best pitcher ever. We used to kiddingly say that we had a rare Bob Feller card that WASN'T autographed...the man was so gracious in giving his signature to anyone who asked. One of my biggest thrills in baseball was, I think it was back in 1976 or so...Feller had been retired for 20 years...he came to Charleston, WV for the American Cancer Society. For two bucks you could step into the batters box and hit a ball off a real live hall of famer. I blooped one over the second baseman...so I was 1 for 1 lifetime against Major League Hall of Famers....God bless you Bob.
