	Bob Feller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On December 8, 1941 Feller enlisted in the Navy.
		In Feller's later years, he has been very vocal about his resentment of the idea of Pete Rose, who was banned in 1989 for betting on baseball games while serving as manager for the Cincinnati Reds, being reinstated into Major League Baseball (and subsequently, be admitted into the Hall of Fame).
		Feller would change his mind, and when he and Robinson were elected to the Hall of Fame at the same time in 1962, he said that he was proud to go in with him, a stance he maintained into his old age.

	New Bob Feller book [Archive] - Baseball Fever
		01-12-2004, 09:22 AM Without knowing much about Bob Feller, I always thought of him as pompous and a somewhat jealous man. I had read accounts of his contention that he had the fastball with the most speed, although his delivery couldn't be measured as accurately as Nolan Ryan's or others.
		Feller also took the time to introduce himself to my wife, and listen to me gush how my mother and uncles had met him in Cleveland in the late 1940's.
		Sickels notes of Feller's relationship with Larry Doby "I don't think they were particularly close friends, but they got along", which from what I've heard means Feller treated Doby just the same as any other ballplayer (except the ones he didn't get along with).
