Early Life
Feldman was Jewish, the son of a Romanian-Jewish father and a Polish-Jewish mother.
Feldman attended Clark Junior High School in the Bronx. He pitched two no-hitters in high school. He took off from his job at a shirt factory, and went to try out for the New York Giants. After three days of not getting a glance, he went to manager Bill Terry and asked for an opportunity. The team was impressed enough to sign Feldman.

—Fred Rogers (20th century)
“... it is the greatest of all mistakes to begin life with the expectation that it is going to be easy, or with the wish to have it so.”
