They retracted the story. Mr. Feller has not passed away. He was however transferred to hospice so things aren't looking good. Lets just all have him in our thoughts.

I am so ™™™™™™ off at Ohio news!
""An Ohio paper prematurely ran a story stating Bob Feller passed away. Other sources picked up The Morning Journal 's story sending buzz throughout Twitter and other sites on the internet. The Morning Journal has since corrected the story.""Last edited by baseball123; 12-09-2010 at 11:24 AM.

Yeah, I've been following Mr. Feller's condition since he went into the hospital for pneumonia and was shocked to wake up and find news reports of his passing and his transferring to hospice. It took me about 15min to actually untangle the web and find the one Morning Journal story goofed and made the entire mess.
Again though, Mr.Feller is not in the best of shape and we should all have him in our thoughts. One of the best pitchers to ever take the mound and one of the most fan friendly. So many players with less than 1% of his accomplishments shun the fans in general and especially concerning ttm. Mr. Feller has always been there for all of us and meeting him was truly a treat.

He is a great contributer to this hobby. Hope him & his family get the care they need while in hospice.
& on a side note, that ohio newspaper should be ashamed.

I've been lucky enough to meet Mr Feller several times and he has always been the nicest guy you'd ever want to meet. Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.

I was wondering what was going on last night, MLB.com didn't have anything a whole hour after that other site reported it..

It's like Pat Burns. A Canadian station reported his death months before and Pat himself phoned them to confirm he's still alive. Sadly he passed on after that. RIP
