I managed to get one photo of Feller pitching at an old-timers game 20 years ago at the old ballpark in Cleveland before getting shooed away by security. Sort of a classic, him in full windup against the backdrop of the grandstand.
Oh, and Deb? Just got a note from the Grizzlies, and the World Series trophy will be at the Fresno Hot Stove dinner in February ... if you wanted to see it ...

I don't recall the name of the show, but they were doing basically a marathon of baseball history hosted by the Elfin Sports Boy including quite a bit of Bob Feller. I was kind of surprised to see he was still living. A week or 2 later I saw he'd been moved to hospice, and now this. There aren't many of those old school ballplayers left, and certainly he was the last of his era. Have I mentioned how much I hate winter, even in California? (all pity to those of you in the arctic zones including Florida). I just checked, and it's exactly 60 days until pitchers and catchers report. Hope springs eternal.
