Just add in leading league in games, strikeouts and innings pitched and innings averaging 300 and today when a pitcher on every 5th day hits 200 innings or 100 pitches, they shut him down.
December 7th, 1941 -- You remember that. It used to be pictures in the papers and stories on the news and surviving veterans.. Not a peep anymore in the media...I mean we would not want to offend anyone.
December 8th, 1941 -- Bob Feller became a free agent after back to back 25 win seasons. A free agent for Uncle Sam and a decorated war Navy Man. I guess "Rapid Robert" enlisted the same way?
Prime??? --- Please the zenith of historical greatness of one of the best careers in baseball history to serve the next morning after thousands were massacred at Pearl Harbor.

My question was Bob Feller was 92. Why wasn't he in the free agent mix this year? He only missed 54 years and his career ended on a batted ball to his eye not the Japs killing him?
Bob Feller --free agent -- 1942. Imagine if not a slave for the baseball owners freed by ----Marvin Miller decades later MM not in the Hall of Fame.
Signed with the US Navy for $20.00 a month so we could post here.
Imagine his contract.
