posty 2,296 Posted December 9, 2010 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=5900594 CLEVELAND -- 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 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, he missed 3½ seasons at the peak of his career to serve in the Navy during World War II. He burst on the baseball scene in 1936 as a 17-year-old schoolboy from Iowa. Signed for $1 and an autographed baseball, the right-hander never pitched in the minors and spent 18 seasons with the Indians, compiling a 266-162 record. He pitched three no-hitters and 12 one-hitters. In 1938, he struck out 18 in one game, a record at the time. Two years later, he pitched the only no-hitter on Opening Day and won a career-high 27 games. Feller's best season was 1946, when he went 26-15 with a 2.18 ERA, 348 strikeouts, 10 shutouts and 36 complete games. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1962. Feller is the third-oldest living Hall of Famer. Former Red Sox second baseman Bobby Doerr, also 92, is seven months older and former Yankees and Orioles executive Lee McPhail is 93.
