The battleship Bob Feller served on was the USS Alabama, which is now a museum in Mobile. On the ship, there is a photo and plaque next to the bunk where he slept. Feller did not get any special treatment; his bunk was just one of many in a sleeping compartment that served as home to about 100 sailors. Imagine one of today’s “superstars” settling for that kind of treatment.
Feller is still the face of the Cleveland Indians franchise. It’s his statute that stands outside of Progressive Field.
Bob Feller was a fine human being, besides being one of the best pitchers ever to play the game.
