Feller Could Have Fetch $100,900 in Open Market
Bob Feller suggested that Judge Landis avoided forcing an open market in 1936 due to potential bidding over a young player. He claims Cleveland offered only two fines, and he could have commanded around $100,000 to sign. He says he stayed loyal to Mr Slapnicka and the club, feeling he owed them and noting his early career success.
