Re: Bob Feller HOF
What a remarkable man and American he was, in addition to being one of the best ever to pitch.
From Van Meter, Iowa signed a major league contract at age 16 Skipped minors Struck out 15 in his first major league game Threw a no hitter to start the season opener in 1940 Like Ted Williams served his country (4 years in WWII) First year back from the war went 26 - 15 with an ERA of 2.0 & 36 COMPLETE GAMES, Ted Williams said "Three days before he pitched, I'd start to think about Robert Feller...I'd sit in my room thinking about him all the time". Career Accomplishments 8 time All Star THREE NO hitters 21 "ONE HITTERS" Led league in strike outs 7 times WON AT LEAST 20 GAMES 7 TIMES
