Bob Feller is being honored by Cleveland Indians fans young and old, one day after the Hall of Fame pitcher died at age 92.

The center field flag at Progressive Field was lowered to half staff. Ballpark crews hung red, white and blue memorial banners marking Feller's career and highlighting his Navy service. Fans placed memorials, including a bag of sunflower seeds, at the base of the ballpark's Feller statue.

Gary Schultz of Kent, Ohio, who stopped by the statue to take a keepsake photo, calls Feller ''the epitome of Cleveland and baseball.''

His neighbor, Rich Aber, met Feller at spring training in Goodyear, Ariz., and recalls Feller having a ''very large and strong'' hand.
