  • Summary

  • In 1966, Bob Feller was a decade removed from his playing career, having retired from the Cleveland Indians in 1956. By this time, Feller had been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962 and was established as one of the game's legendary pitchers. His career spanned from 1936 to 1956, interrupted by his service in World War II from 1942 to 1945.

    This radio clip features Feller reflecting on the concerns he and other players had upon returning to baseball after World War II. Feller's perspective is particularly valuable, as he was one of the first major league players to enlist after the attack on Pearl Harbor, joining the Navy just two days later. His experiences bridged the pre-war and post-war eras of baseball, giving him unique insight into how the game and its players were affected by the global conflict. Feller likely discusses the challenges of readjusting to civilian life, regaining baseball form after years away from the game, and the changes in the sport during the war years.
