Bob Feller and His Children photograph

Date1948 November 29

DescriptionA black-and-white full-length photograph of Bob Feller playing with his two sons. Feller, dressed casually, pushes his eldest son Steve on a swing-set. Feller looks down at the ground, but Steve and Martin, who stands nearby, make eye contact with the camera. The manner of dress of the children as well as the lack of leaves on the trees in the background indicate that this photo was taken in late Fall. Pasted on the reverse (not shown), typed in purple ink, is a caption that reads, "BOB FELLER TAKES IT EASY WITH THE KIDS GATES MILLS, O.: CLEVELAND PITCHER BOB FELLER GIVES SON STEVIE, 3, A PUSH ON THE NEWLY-INSTALLED SWING ON GROUNDS OF HIS GATES MILLS HOME, WHILE MARTY, 1, WAITS HIS TURN.
