Bob Feller Pitching photograph

Date1936

DescriptionA black-and-white photograph of Bob Feller taking practice pitches from the mound. Feller's body features a contorted face showing intense concentration and an exaggerated positioning of his right plant leg follow-through while standing on his left plant leg in front of the pitching rubber. One may also witness Feller's right arm go across his chest while his left glove arm following through behind him throwing. The baseball field could potentially be League Park, however there is not enough to determine it with certainty. Based on the details of the uniform, this photograph was early in 1936.
