Thanks to the suggestion of the Moss Family, we made a half-hour journey out of Des Moines today to visit the hometown and museum of Hall of Fame baseball pitcher Bob Feller. "Rapid Robert." "The Heater from Van Meter." "Bullet Bob." Feller was among the greatest righthanded pitchers of all-time, not to mention a WWII hero. A truly unique and great American, who lived a good long life before passing away a few years ago at the age of 92. The museum was small but packed with awesome artifacts from Feller's baseball career and military career. And, just so you know: Van Meter, Iowa, is a really small town. I'd say it's in the middle of nowhere, but it's close enough to Des Moines so as not to classify as that. Thanks to our athletes for riding along out to Van Meter with me and putting up with my love of baseball history.
