Feller recalls Waddell feats of eccentric Rube
In a New York NEA feature Harry Grayson compares Bob Feller with Rube Waddell. The piece notes Waddell's 343 strikeouts for the 1904 Athletics, his erratic style, and Connie Mack's praise, while detailing Feller's strikeout record pace and his contrasts with Waddell's left handed power and antics. It mentions Waddell's partner Ossie Schreckengost and a 1908 16 strikeout game, set against Feller's 17 strikeouts in 1936. The closing line shifts to American ducks in a stray note.
