This is the official 1935 Iowa amateur tournament scorebook that a 16 year old Bob Feller dominated just prior to turning pro. Interestingly, these games were played in August and he signed his pro contract (for $1 and an autographed Indians ball) a month prior to this tournament.

In the tournament, against grown men, he pitched 27 1/3 innings for his Farmer's Union team, had 49 K's, gave up 14 hits, 4 runs, 1 earned run (a home run). In the final two days of the tournament he pitched two complete games and likely threw 300+ pitches inside of 24 hours!
