Presented is a tall, colorful poster featuring Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Feller. "Rapid Robert" was one of his nicknames, and the right-hander was one of the greatest pitchers all-time. He won 266 games despite missing almost four years at the heart of his career while serving in the U.S. Navy as a Chief Petty Officer (and a gun captain) aboard the USS Alabama, a ship often in combat in World War II. Based on the final four years of his career before military service - when Feller won 93 games- Feller was in line to win in the range of 350 games had he not volunteered for the Navy. He pitched three career no-hitters, a Major League record at the time. He threw 279 complete games and 44 shutouts. A real prodigy, he never played in the minors, and he was the first pitcher to ever win 24 games - in a season - before the age of 21. A mark of his character was that he was struggling in the 1948 season, and even though he was selected to play in the All-Star game, he declined to attend the game, saying that he didn't deserve it. He had only a 9-12 record on July 22nd that season, but the Cleveland manager, Lou Boudreau stated, "We sink or swim with Feller." Then Feller went 10-1, and the Indians won the pennant and World Series. The poster is paper mounted on thick cardboard. At 12x37", the size of the poster is slightly more than half of Feller's 6'0" height. The poster reads, "See Bob Feller in person at ____", with three blank lines allowing for the poster to be individualized for each public appearance. Those lines remain blank on this poster. Feller has signed and inscribed the poster as "Best wishes to a great fan from Bob Feller." The poster has some tack holes and there is light wear around the edges, with a few minor creases and some tiny paper loss. With the three small, uniformed boys gathered around Feller, the poster has the charm of a Norman Rockwell painting, and it would make a fine, and unusual, display item.
