Trevor Time!!

Hullo folks, its me Trevor. Today I'm gonna tell you about the best birthday gift I ever received. Brandon (My brother) gave me the book Bob Feller's Little Blue Book of Baseball Wisdom. You might be asking: "why is Trevor getting a birthday gift in June?" Well, Brandon bought me the book because Bob Feller was actually going to be signing them on June 18Th at a local mall, and Brandon thought it would be fun for me to meet him and get my book signed. For those of you who do not know who Bob Feller is (even though I can't imagine that you wouldn't know who he is), here are some facts about Bob Feller.

Bob Feller is a Hall of Famer Pitcher from the Cleveland Indians. He pitched 2,581 strike outs, 266 walks, and 44 shut-outs in 570 games during his 18 year career. Bob Feller signed his contract with the Indians when he was 16, in 1934. In 1941, when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, Bob Feller immediately signed up for the Navy, even though his father was dying of brain cancer. Feller was an aircraft gunner on the USS Alabama where he won 8 battle stars! He returned to baseball 45 months later. His best pitching years came after he returned in from WWII, in 1946.

So anyways, I got to go meet Bob Feller. He not only signed my book, but he also signed my Feller Baseball Card. He was a very nice man, he gave me a couple of pointers on my pitching and took a picture with me.

He looks younger on my baseball card and in my book, but now he's 91 years old!!
