Catch, Dad
This is the glove that pitching great Bob Feller's
father wore to catch him growing up. Feller, one
of the fastest pitchers ever, was a phenom by the
time he was 11. One day, he threw a pitch so hard,
it broke three of his father’s ribs! This
is the mitt his father wore that day. Time Magazine
wrote about the incident after Feller had started
his stellar major league career at age 17, in 1937.
