The passing of Bob Feller got me to digging out some files involving my first cousin Wilbur Jake Striker.
Feller was a mentor to two promising 19 year olds, see Cleveland Plain Dealer picture. Score went on to limited fame with the Indians, until hit in the eye from the bat of Gil McDougald and then was play by play broadcaster for the Indians. Striker had arm problems, but did get a win with the Indians on September 25th of 1959, thus his only major league card, 1960 White Sox Topps #169. Jake was traded to the ChiSox in the winter of 1960, but was not able to hang on and finished his career in the high minors. Interestingly George Rose wrote a book One Win Wonders, and Jake appears on the cover....Ken Striker of Dayton
