it is clear Feller is still baseball’s number one ticket seller.

The Indians had their spring training in Winter Haven, FL in the 90s, and every year he was with the team at their spring training games, still autographing for anyone who wanted one, and there was always a crowd or autograph hounds around him.

Feller served on the USS Alabama, which is now a museum ship in Mobile. There is a commemorative plaque by his berth. It was just one of about a hundred or more in a large crew compartment. He was treated no better than any other sailor of his rank.

Feller remains the “Face of the Franchise” in Cleveland. Every major league ballpark has “the statue” of their greatest player(s). In the plaza behind center field at Progressive Field, it’s Bob Feller.
