CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Bob Feller played for the Cleveland Indians (aka Cleveland Guardians). He bypassed the minors and first pitched in the majors at the ripe age of 17. During his career he threw three no-hitters and 12 one-hitters. He is the only pitcher to throw a no-hitter on opening day, April 16, 1940. After his 4th season, Bob was returning to Cleveland from a visit with his terminally ill father to sign what was to be a multi-year, high dollar contract but the day was December 7, 1941. The next day, rather than signing with the Indians, he signed with the United States Navy and spent the next four years on the USS Alabama. He chose country over self.
Feller resumed his baseball career with the Indians in 1946 and threw his second no-hitter. He was a significant factor in the World Series win in 1948 and the American League pennant in 1954. By the time he retired in 1956 he led the American League in win six times and strikeouts seven times. He was an eight-time All-Star.
When asked by a reporter toward the end of his career what his most memorable win was, Bob quickly replied, “World War II.” Again, country over self.
There are still a lot of athletes out there that put their job in proper perspective. Unfortunately, there are many that don’t. You may have witnessed both types in the Olympics during the past two weeks. We have probably all heard the hierarchy of God, others, self. I think we would all to well to insert “country” in the third spot and move ourselves one notch down the line.
