The Mount Rushmore of the Cleveland Indians
By Matt Meffe
Bob Feller
We kick this list off with a Hall of Fame pitcher, and whether he was a starter or reliever, Bob Feller certainly had it all. The right-handed Feller was an eight-time All-Star, spending 18 seasons with the Indians. Feller is perhaps one of the greatest pitchers to have never won a Cy Young Award.
Despite this, Feller did win the AL pitcher’s Triple Crown by leading the league in ERA, wins and strikeouts in 1940. Feller was a six-time AL wins leader and a seven-time AL strikeout leader. Feller managed to pitch three no-hitters in his career, and was (at the time) only the third pitcher to pitch three no-nos. He was a first-ballot inductee into the Baseball Hall of Fame, ending his career as Cleveland’s all-time leader in most major pitching categories.
