- Bob Feller- Ernie CalverleyIn 1966, Bob Feller was a decade removed from his playing career, having retired from the Cleveland Indians in 1956.

He briefly played professional basketball in the Basketball Association of America (a precursor to the NBA) from 1946 to 1948.

At 29 years old, he had overcome years of control issues in the minor leagues to become a key part of the Yankees' bullpen. Duren's unique pitching style, which included intentionally wild warm-up pitches and a reluctance to use the bullpen gate, had already made him a fan favorite.
