One of the last links between us and Ruth/Gehrig days has passed. Mr. Feller missed pitching to Ruth by a year (but knew him well) and did pitch against Gehrig...I believe Bobby Doerr is the last living hof'er to play against Gehrig.
I had the honor of meeting him 2 years ago in Cooperstown and I'm sure glad I got the chance.
Here's a couple of photos...one from that day and my favorite picture of him that he signed in my HOF book. RIP Mr. Feller, and thank you for your service to our country in WWII.
