Indians Hall of Famer Bob Feller, 91, was given a pacemaker on Monday at the Cleveland Clinic after being admitted for an unannounced illness on Saturday.CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Hall of Famer Bob Feller, recently diagnosed with leukemia, is at Cleveland Clinic after getting a pacemaker Monday.
A family friend said Feller, 91, is doing well.
"He's been watching Indians games on TV," said the friend. "He said he fell asleep in the fifth inning of one game because it was so boring. But each day, he tells me what's wrong with today's players."
Feller is done with his latest round of chemotherapy for his leukemia. He was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in August.
"His biggest problem right now is vertigo," said the friend. "His blood is fine. His heart is good. But he gets dizzy."
Feller is the third oldest living Hall of Famer and the winningest pitcher in Indians history with 266 victories, including three no-hitters.
