When the Tribe roared to their first World Series in over 40 years, it was only fitting that the legendary Bob Feller—a key member of that prior 1954 pennant-winning team—would receive an honorary A.L. championship ring. Curiously, Feller never made an appearance in the '54 Fall Classic, serving instead as the fifth starter in a series that ended in a four-game sweep by the Giants. 1995's Albert Belle-led Indians fared somewhat better, stretching out their World Series against the Braves to 6 games.
Produced by Jostens, Feller's 10K gold size-13-3/4 ring glitters with 23 diamonds and prominently displays his name and number on one shank, along with the year, Indians logo and dominant season record (100-44) on the other shank. It remains impeccably preserved in Near Mint condition and includes the original red velvet presentation box with "Indians" in script on the inside of the top.
In the hierarchy of championship ring value, active star player rings typically fetch the highest prices. As arguably Cleveland’s all-time greatest player, Bob Feller's 1995 ring might be considered an exception to the rule. LOA from the Feller family and Jostens.
