Luke Easter Remembered as Power Hitter and Clutch Legend
In a Cleveland story of baseball lore Luke Easter, once a star with the Indians and a feared slugger in the Negro Leagues, was slain at 63 in Euclid, Ohio. Feller, a former teammate, recalled his power and fearlessness at the plate, noting Easter’s 1952 season peak and a 477 foot Municipal Stadium homer in 1950.
