Bob Feller has a one-of-a-kind face...

I post this for discussion. Nobody I know ever said "hey, that guy looks like Bob Feller". He was very unique looking. I'm thinking of other Hall Of Famers (Spahn pops in my head) and I realize that I've met 100 guys that look like Babe Ruth a little-- even met a guy that I SWORE was Bob Gibson. I'm painting Feller and was using a Burke photo I bought. It's my favorite Feller image. Feller isn't too over-exposed relating to baseball. I knew exactly where to shade him, his eye detail, right on down to his eyelashes on pure instinct. It's truly remarkable how much guys my age (60) maintain the images of our youth.
Aside from Don Mossi's ears, Spahn's beek...what other players had physical characteristics that made them unique or even, popular?!

    yogi berra had a one of a kind look in my opinion.

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    Walt "No Neck" Williams, for obvious reasons. For comparison, here two are "neck" images, Walt Williams and Eddie Brinkman.

    Lol! Walt and Ed. They'd be perfect to go buy custom suits together!
