Fine.

10 ¾" x 13 ¾" photo in a 12 ¼" x 15 ¼" frame. Signed by Bob Feller in black marker. Black and white photo of Feller in his iconic pitching windup, in a burgundy frame. Fine, with just a touch of fading to signature. Overall, a wonderful photo. Nicknamed "The Heater from Van Meter," Bob Feller came into the league when he was just 17 years old. Cy Slapnicka, the scout who discovered him, said, "I didn't know then that he was smart and had the heart of a lion, but I knew that I was looking at an arm the likes of which you see only once in a lifetime." The prodigy played all eighteen of his major league seasons with the Cleveland Indians. He garnered eight All-Star selections and won the unofficial Triple Crown in 1940 by leading the league in wins, ERA, and strikeouts. He was inducted to the Hall of Fame in 1962. Item #BFE001
