Cleveland Indians memories, baseball ghosts fill Tucson's Hi Corbett Field (photos)

BURT GRAEFF
Special to The Plain Dealer

TUCSON, Arizona -- Hi Corbett Field, where the Cleveland Indians conducted spring training for nearly 50 years (1946-92), is the home for Hall of Fame ghosts of the past.

In one corner of the bullpen is the ghost of Bob Feller doing, what else but signing autographs for anyone with anything to be signed.

There's the ghost of Mickey Mantle in the batter's box, hitting a 535-foot home run that lands in the vicinity of the elephant display at nearby Reid Park Zoo and rolls another 535 feet.
