Second Indians Pitcher Buried in Oregon Mountains
The ashes of Cleveland Indians pitcher Steve Olin were buried Sunday in the Tualatin Mountains near Portland. About 300 people attended the service at Skyline Funeral Home, remembering Olin as a loving husband and father with an infectious sense of humor. Olin, 27, and teammate Tim Crews, 31, died last Monday when their 18-foot bass boat struck a pier near the Indians' Spring Training camp in Winter Haven, Florida. The service featured reflections from family and teammates and included mementoes of Olin's life. Olin's wife Patti welcomed friends as roses and a large photo of him looked on. Olin had risen through the farm system after being drafted by Cleveland in 1987 and debuted in 1989, posting a 29-save season in 1992.
