  • - Bob Feller

    - Ernie Calverley

    In 1966, Bob Feller was a decade removed from his playing career, having retired from the Cleveland Indians in 1956. By this time, Feller had been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962 and was established as one of the game's legendary pitchers. His career spanned from 1936 to 1956, interrupted by his service in World War II.

    This radio clip features Feller discussing Ernie Calverley, a name more associated with basketball than baseball. Calverley was a standout basketball player at the University of Rhode Island in the 1940s, known for his long-distance shooting ability. He briefly played professional basketball in the Basketball Association of America (a precursor to the NBA) from 1946 to 1948. Feller's comments on Calverley in 1966 likely provide an interesting cross-sport perspective, potentially touching on the early days of professional basketball or the intersection of different sports in American culture during that era.
