He finished his career, all with the Tribe, with 266 wins which is a club record. He also threw the only opening day no-hitter in the MLB. His legend spanned beyond baseball. This is apparent from his service in World War II, which made him a true American hero.

The 92 year old Feller remained a fan of the team until his passing. Due to his lifelong love of the team, the Indians are giving back. It starts on opening day. The team will show a tribute video highlighting the career of the late Bob Feller.

The first pitch will be thrown by Anne Feller, the widow of Bob Feller. This will be a silent pitch, and it should be a very emotional moment for everyone in attendance. The players on the Indians will all have #19 jerseys on for the introductions and their normal jerseys will feature a patch with #19 on it.

For those who are interested, there will be a public memorial service for Feller on March 31st. It will be at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Cleveland Heights at 11am. Due to limited space, it will also be shown on STO.

Looking at the Indians schedule this year I noticed something that angered me. Many of the Indians Wednesday and Thursday afternoon games aren’t on STO. The first one is May 12th against the Rays. As I looked through the schedule I noticed that there are a total of 7 games that will not be broadcasted on STO. Two of these come down the stretch in September.

I know the Indians will likely not be in a heated playoff race in September, but it is a possibility. Two possibly crucial games will not be televised. They will probably be replaced with re-runs of borderline backyard wrestling in some warehouse in Cleveland.

The whole point of having a TV network devoted to a team is to show every game. That should be first priority. I would much rather watch my favorite MLB team than a late night poker tournament or a random Notre Dame football game from 2007. From my knowledge, Notre Dame is not in Ohio, yet some games are shown on STO.

Some questions in life will never be answered. Why do the Indians trade All Stars? Why does Grady take pictures of himself that humiliate coffee mugs? And why does STO not show every Indians game?
