One interesting fact I read in his obituary this morning is that after his junior year of high school, during summer vacation, he pitched for the Cleveland Indians and dominated the teams he faced. When the school semester resumed in the fall, he was already an American hero. I knew he debuted at a young age, but that really put it in perspective. Not a bad way to spend one's summer break.

I had the privilege to meet and work with Bob Feller on several occasions. Some of the stories he told me about baseball and his life were amazing. I have to credit him with getting me interested in baseball from the pre-war time period. Here is a photo I own of him playing marbles with the marble champion from Ohio. He is only 19 in this photo. It saddens me to hear of his passing.
