About Bob Feller
A farm boy from Van Meter, Iowa, Bob Feller was signed by Cleveland scout Cy Slapnicka in 1936 for one dollar and an autographed baseball, and reached the majors at age 17 while still a high-schooler. In his first start that August he struck out 15 Browns, and on September 13, 1936, he fanned 17 Athletics to set the American League single-game record and tie Dizzy Dean's major-league mark. A right-handed pitcher whose blazing fastball earned him the nicknames "Rapid Robert" and "The Heater from Van Meter," Feller spent his entire 18-year career (1936-1941, 1945-1956) with the Indians, going 266-162 with a 3.25 ERA and 2,581 strikeouts. An eight-time All-Star, he led the AL in strikeouts seven times (piling up 348 in 1946) and threw three no-hitters, including a 1940 Opening Day gem, plus a record-tying 12 one-hitters. He enlisted in the Navy after Pearl Harbor and lost nearly four prime seasons (1942-1945) to World War II service aboard the USS Alabama. He helped Cleveland win the 1948 World Series though he lost both of his starts, and was elected to the Hall of Fame on the first ballot in 1962. His card carries the standard white/gray back-stock variation found across the 1956 Topps set.
