The 38-year-old outfielder-designated hitter left the team earlier this week to attend to what the Rays called a family matter. The manager, Joe Maddon, said on Thursday that he expected Ramirez to be available for Friday night's game at the Chicago White Sox.

The 12-time All-Star agreed to a $2m, one-year contract with the defending AL East champions in the offseason, cheap jerseys in usa hoping to re-establish himself as one of the game's feared hitters. Ramirez hit .298 with nine homers and 42 RBIs in 90 games for the Dodgers and White Sox last season. He's a career .312 hitter with 555 home runs in 18-plus seasons, including some of his best seasons with the Cleveland Indians and Boston Red Sox.There have been a hundred stories told about Feller over the past 24 hours, the most often repeated being the one about his 1940 duel against a motorcycle – a clumsily conceived stunt in which his fast ball was "measured" against a speeding Harley Davidson. He was credited with throwing at 104mph. Did he? Feller always boasted he threw harder than that.

He wasn't short of confidence, Rapid Robert (as he was nicknamed), and why should he have been given the career he had after coming into the big leagues in 1936, cheap jerseys india aged 17? On his debut he struck out 15 against the St Louis Browns. Later that season he had 17 strike-outs in one game – an American League record at the time. At the end of that season he returned home to Iowa and went back to high school.Jayson Stark, the baseball analyst for ESPN, wrote this great appreciation of Feller in his 2007 book, The Most Overrated and Underrated Players in Baseball History. Feller was named the sixth "most underrated" – though not in Cleveland, where they built a statue in his honour.

Yet for all Feller's achievements on the baseball field, he will perhaps be best remembered for his decision, at the age of 23, cheap jerseys made in usa to walk away from the game in the aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbour – a decision he recalled in a piece for the New York Times.Feller was at war for four years, a chief petty officer on a naval warship. He left his post in August 1945, and pitched for the Indians two days after coming home. He won, of course.

Who knows how many wins Feller would have compiled had he exercised his right to stay at home? At the very least he would have joined the exclusive club of pitchers who won more than 300 games. He himself floated the idea he might have got to 400 wins. We'll never know and, according to Feller, we shouldn't care.
