Bob Feller was indeed a true American hero. Signed with the Indians at age 16, and played his first game of MLB baseball at age 17. One of the original flame-throwers and a legend on the mound. 266 lifetime wins and 2,581 strikeouts. Three (3) no-hitters to go with twelve (12) one-hitters. Led the Indians pitching staff to Cleveland's last World Series victory in 1948.

After the USA was attacked at Pearl Harbor, Feller was the first MLB player to enlist. Had he not missed four (4) seasons, his stats would have been all the more impressive. Even though he had qualified for a deferment, Feller chose to give up some of his prime baseball years to serve his country as a member of the US Navy.

An eight (8) time All-Star, Feller led the league in wins six (6) times and strikeouts seven (7) times. He also led the league in hit batsmen six (6) times - now that's a pitcher who knew how to throw inside!

One of the all-time greats of the game.
