The old Feller can still bring it ... sort of

For those who missed it, the greatest Indian of them all is still in game shape, at age 90. Bob Feller pitched to three batters Sunday in Cooperstown, in the old-timers' game that has replaced the annual exhibition game between two major-league teams. He didn't get any of them out, but none of them got more than a single, and all three are significantly younger than Feller. (Paul Molitor is 52, Bobby Grich is 60, and Steve Finley is 44.)

This piece on Sports Illustrated's website about the oldest living Hall of Famer's appearance in Cooperstown is worth the read.
