Bob Feller Family Vacation photograph

Date1938 February

DescriptionA black-and-white photograph depicting Bob Feller in the process of making warm-up throws to an unknown receiver. This can be discerned through the focus on Feller's concentrating face as well as the correct follow-through of his right leg and right arm which show his determination in preparing for the game. One may discern that this is a bullpen warm-up as the mound is surrounded by a large area of dirt with brass dividing the foreground and background of the field. Based on the details of the uniform, the photograph was taken between 1939 and 1941.
