CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Indians say Hall of Fame Bob Feller has died. He was 92.
Feller, the winningest pitcher in club history and one of baseball’s greatest right-handers, died at 9:15 p.m. Wednesday night of acute leukemia at a hospice where he had been moved in recent weeks, said Bob DiBiasio, the Indians vice president of public relations.
Feller had been in failing health for months. He was diagnosed with leukemia this summer and underwent surgery to have a pacemaker installed.
“Rapid Robert” won 266 games in 18 seasons for the Indians.
