Bob Feller
Here is Bob signing my Cleveland Stadium Seat slat (its now part of the seat) Bob is kind of a hero of mine. He started pitching in the majors before his senior year in high school. He set the new strikeout out record of 17 batters in a game when he was 17 years old! Then upped it to 18 later on. When he was 23 years old he had over 100 wins and then came Pearl Harbor. The NEXT DAY Bob went down and joined the Navy. He was arguably the greatest pitcher in baseball and he gave no second thought to joining up. Most players waited until they were drafted a year or more later. Very few chose to join the service. You gotta respect a guy who does that.
