From Cleveland-
The Indians have planned a public memorial service for the man who arguably was their greatest player, Bob Feller, the day before the season opener.
"A Memorial Service/Celebration of Life in honor of Bob Feller" will be at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 2747 Fairmount Blvd., Cleveland Heights, at 11 a.m. Thursday, March 31. The Rev. Conroad Selnick, rector of St. Christopher's-by-the-River Episcopal Church in Gates Mills will officiate, the Indians said.
Feller, who lived in Gates Mills, was 92 when he died of complications of leukemia this past December. "Rapid Robert" Feller spent his entire 18-year professional career -- interrupted by a celebrated stint in the Navy during World War II -- with the Indians. After his first year with the Tribe, he returned to his hometown of Van Meter, Iowa, to finish high school.
His 266 wins are the most in Indians history.
