Bob Feller, Patriot
Looks like Bob Feller wasn't too happy with Ali being honored at the All Star Game. This is in character. One year back in the 1990s I went to one of SABR's national conventions. I believe it was the one in Kansas City. I was hanging out in the hotel lobby waiting for some friends when Feller strolled up to me, took my program out of my hand, signed it, and declared "Son, don't go voting for any draft-dodgers." Then he shook my hand and wandered off. It was all very strange.
