Bob Feller dies at 92

Hall of Famer Bob feller passed away on Wednesday night.  The World War II veteran was 92 years old.  He was nicknamed “Rapid Report” for his strong right hand.  He is without a doubt one of the greatest pitchers of all time.

Feller, who won 266 games in 18 seasons -- all with the Indians -- died at 9:15 p.m. on Wednesday night of acute leukemia at a hospice, said Bob DiBiasio, the Indians vice president of public relations.

"Nobody lives forever and I've had a blessed life," Feller said in September. "I'd like to stay on this side of the grass for as long as I can, though. I'd really like to see the Indians win a World Series."

Feller, in fact, was part of the rotation the last time the Indians won it all -- in 1948.

Bob Feller, who died Wednesday at 92, still attended Indians games last season.

The Indians retired his No. 19 jersey in 1957 and immortalized the greatest player in franchise history with a statue when they opened their downtown stadium in 1994. The sculpture is vintage Feller, captured forever in the middle of his patented windmill windup, rearing back to fire another pitch.
