Selection of four vintage Type I photos captures Hall of Fame hurler Bob Feller in an unfamiliar setting, frolicking on the beach. All are encapsulated by PSA and date from the 1938-39 period, the early stages of his 18-year MLB career, all spent with the Cleveland Indians. One captivating image in particular shows him with teammate and catcher Rollie Hemsley at Delray Beach, with both shirtless but wearing baseball gloves and reviewing signs. If Feller looks impossibly young in these images, that's because he is. In the 1939 season - already in his fourth season at the age of 20 - the right-hander led the American League in wins while posting a sparkling 24-9 overall record. Versos all have original wire copy affixed, and each has the specific reference date.
