Bob Feller

Heater from Van Meter
He's one of the reasons I wish I was born in 1925 so I could watch him play.

Missed essentially three seasons of his prime due to World War II. His dropoff was sharp starting in his late-20s. Probably could've had mind-blowing numbers with those three seasons and maybe better years into his 30s. For all the Cliff Lee haters (or lovers), the Cleveland Indians won the 1948 World Series. Feller went 0-2 with a 5.02 ERA.

Looks like a total badass.
