This is a great site. Red Sox fans know and appreciate their history. The last great icon of baseball's "golden years" is now gone. You folks have more posts than the largest Guardians' site.
I was named after Bob and am so proud to have been. I had the good fortune to see Bob pitch his 3rd no-hitter and and his 12th and last one-hitter. Bob not only was a great, great pitcher but a true American hero spending almost 4 years in the Navy in World War ll.
This is a very sad day for me but I take great comfort that he is now with our Lord.
God bless you, Bob Feller.
The greatest Indian of them all.
this is sad for me as I was named after him and saw his 3rd no-hitter and 12th one-hitter.
He won 26 games before entering WW11 and 25 when he returned after four years in the Navy.
It probably meant another 100 victories and 1000 strikeouts.
A great man and ball player.
May God bless Bob and his family!!
Mickey was dressed in Red Sox gear simply because the BoSox are so easy to root for. There is not the condescending arrogance that permeates the Yankees from King George on down.
Btw, if you want to dislike the Yankees even more, read the new biography on Steinbrenner.
I'm an old timer. I saw Teddy Ballgame play a lot in Cleveland and, trust me, he was the greatest hitter who ever lived.
Jim Longborg was one of my favorite pitchers and Ken "Hawk" Harrelson, whom I knew were favorite BoSox.
