Bob Feller was the greatest pitcher in Indians history and the club's all-time leader in wins with 266, strikeouts with 2581, starts, complete games, and innings. Known as “Rapid Robert,” he led the A.L. in wins six times and in strikeouts seven times. In 1946, he set club single-season records for strikeouts with 348, innings with 371, shutouts with 10, and complete games with 36. He pitched a club-record three no-hitters and 12 one-hitters, and the eight-time A.L. All-Star threw 44 career shutouts. He was the first player to have his uniform number, 19, retired by the Indians. A true patriot, he proudly served in the U.S. Navy from 1941 to 1945 and was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962.
