Pitching Alone Fellers Faces Lax Support From Teammates
The narrative notes Bob Feller pitched without run support as outfielders failed to reach unreachable drives. It compares his eight wins and four losses to this year’s team scoring, highlights infrequent run production, and cites historic strikeout records by Radbourne Waddell and Johnson.
Vernon Refuses to Diminish Pacing Champs'
Mickey Vernon, the majors’ leading hitter, remains in the .385 to .400 range and hits at a .400 mark against top pitchers like Bob Feller and Hal Newhouser. He has 14 doubles, three triples, five home runs and 29 RBIs in 35 at bats against noted hurlers, yet pitchers prefer walking him in clutch moments.
