Bob Feller: Legendary MLB Pitcher Dies After Long Health Battle

Bob Feller, one of the greatest pitchers in major league history and a true icon in Cleveland sports, has passed away.

The 92-year-old was diagnosed with leukemia in August and underwent several additional health problems before moving to a hospice and passing away last night.

"Bob Feller is gone. We cannot be surprised," said Indians owner Larry Dolan. "Yet, it seems improbable. Bob has been such an integral part of our fabric, so much more than an ex-ballplayer, so much more than any Cleveland Indians player. He is Cleveland, Ohio.

"To say he will be missed is such an understatement. In fact, more to the point, he will not be missed because he will always be with us."

Here is a brief tribute to the fabled right-hander.
