In 1966, baseball legend Bob Feller shared his thoughts on Lou Gehrig in a radio interview. At this point, Feller had been retired from playing for 10 years, having pitched his last game for the Cleveland Indians in 1956. Gehrig, on the other hand, had passed away 25 years earlier in 1941, but his legacy as one of baseball's greatest players endured.

Bob Feller, known for his blazing fastball, had faced Gehrig during his rookie season in 1936. Feller's career spanned from 1936 to 1956, interrupted by his service in World War II. Lou Gehrig's career with the New York Yankees lasted from 1923 to 1939, ending prematurely due to the disease that would later bear his name. This radio clip captures Feller's perspective on Gehrig, offering insights into the Iron Horse's impact on the game and his fellow players.

In this 1958 radio interview, Dick Groat, the shortstop for the Pittsburgh Pirates, shares insights into his career and the state of the game at that time. Groat, who had joined the Pirates in 1952, was emerging as one of the key figures in the team's lineup.
