Hall of Famer battling leukemia at age 91

Bob Feller, 91, watched Wednesday’s game from his seat in the press box. He is being treated for leukemia and had his most recent checkup three days ago. “I don’t need any more blood right now, and the white cells are holding their own,” he said. “So far, so good. I feel good enough to play with my tractors in the barn.” Feller, who lives in Gates Mills, will continue outpatient treatments at Cleveland Clinic before another evaluation in mid-September. “I’ve been very humbled by the support and well-wishes,” he said. “I’ve received calls and letters from all across the country. They are very much appreciated.” — Cleveland Plain Dealer
