Legendary Indians' Pitcher Bob Feller 1918-2010
Apparently it's true this time
Link The baseball world and America lost a legend in Bob Feller on Wednesday night. According to WHO-TV in Iowa, the 92-year-old Feller died on Wednesday night. Feller had been moved to hospice just six days before. Feller, a former fireballer for the Cleveland Indians was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962. In his 18-year career, Feller won 262 games -- 44 of them shutouts. The eight-time All-Star missed four seasons in his prime to serve his country during World War II. |

Feller also pitched a no-hitter on Opening Day in 1940 and 70 years later...it STILL hasn't been done!
RIP Feller! |
