|  The exhibitions at the Bob Feller Museum can hold anyone's attention. Among the artifacts are Feller's uniforms, all bearing number 19; trophies he accumulated during his career of 266 wins; newspapers trumpeting his victories; historic signed baseballs and bats from Feller and a variety of major league ball players; and, many photographs of Feller throughout his life and career.
One of the most important artifacts in the museum's collection is the bat which Babe Ruth was pictured leaning on during his retirement ceremony at Yankee Stadium in June 1948. The Cleveland Indians were playing the Yankees that day and the bat used by Ruth just happened to belong to Bob Feller. This artifact is part of an exchange program with the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. The bat was displayed at the Bob Feller Museum for one year and traveled to Cooperstown in June 2002 for a year of display there. In exchange for the Ruth bat, the Hall of Fame has loaned the Bob Feller Museum the 3 no hitter baseballs from Bob's career. These baseballs will be on display at the museum until June 2003, at which time the Ruth bat returns.
Special exhibits and displays are coordinated throughout the year and information on those will be posted to this website as they are developed. Check back for more information! |
