From Wikipedia
"The Bob Feller Museum was a baseball museum located in Van Meter, Iowa. The Bob Feller Museum was founded in 1997 and to honor Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Feller of the Cleveland Indians. The Bob Feller Museum is located in Feller's home town.
After successful fundraising efforts, the Bob Feller Museum opened in Van Meter, Iowa, on June 10, 1995 with a crowd of 800 in attendance.
The museum contained Feller memorabilia and items from his own collection. The Feller bat used by Babe Ruth when he made his last public appearance at Yankee Stadium was at the museum. Feller said a teammate had stolen the bat and eventually it was purchased by the Upper Deck sports card company for $107,000. Feller later offered the company $95,000 in return for the bat."
