Feller under hospice care

Not good. By definition, this mean he has less than 6 months. But following a pneumonia in a 90+ year old, it's often weeks, if not days.

CLEVELAND (AP)—Indians Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Feller has been moved from a hospital to hospice care.

The 92-year-old Feller, who was recently admitted to the Cleveland Clinic with pneumonia, has been transferred to a hospice in the Cleveland area, Bob DiBiasio, the team’s vice president of public relations confirmed to The Associated Press on Wednesday night.

Feller’s health has been in decline in recent months. He was diagnosed with leukemia in August, and after fainting while undergoing chemotherapy, Feller had a pacemaker implanted.

Feller won 266 games in 18 seasons - all with the Indians. An eight-time All-Star, Feller interrupted his baseball career to enlist in the Navy during World War II. Feller served three years in the military before returning to the major leagues.

he died

I'm surprised how sad I am about this. Drafted by Cleveland at age 17 and was fiercely loyal for the following 75 years. Truly unique.

Rapid Robert throwing the Van Meter heater. You have to wonder if there will ever be another rotation like Feller, Wynn, Lemon, and Garcia. Probably not for our Tribe.

He was quoted in September as saying "I hope I live long enough to see the Indians win the World Series". A true Cleveland hero.

Wow, I didn't even read this news till just now that he died. Very sad news for Tribe fans. RIP Bob.
