(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.
