He always said this was by far the best one that he ever pitched.
The reason was obvious:
He pitched it against a dominant NY Yankees team stacked with great hitting team that included 3 HOF'ers: Joe DiMaggio, Bill Dickey and Joe Gordon.

Here is an original birds-eye photo that I just picked up of Rapid Robert pitching to Joe D. in what he viewed as his peak career moment on the mound.

Quite a month for Bob Feller on this thread. You have wonderful picks!

That Sports Illustrated photo of Feller is a pose I've not seen before. Very nice.

Just picked up another Phoenix Senators program for my collection. If anyone has any pre-1960s Phoenix, AZ baseball memorabilia, please let me know!

Seems like it's been a year or so since I posted over here. Picked this board game up today locally. circa 1910 with a Detroit Tigers theme on the front of the box. Hughie Jennings giving his yeehaw dance down at third.

That is great!

Terrific pick-up, Dan! We're envious. We'd bet that as a "local" acquisition, you probably got it at a
relatively bargain price, too -- it's reliably out of range of our budget!
Just as a footnote, the game was patented in 1924, so it's regarded in the game-collecting community
as an early '20s production.
