Propelled into the World Series for the first time since 1954, the Cleveland Indians have proved to the world they are no longer a run-of-the-mill team. These current contenders burst out from behind a long history beginning in 1869 when professional baseball first came to Cleveland. By 1901 Cleveland had become a charter member of the American League as the Cleveland Blues, then the Cleveland Bronchos in 1902, the Cleveland Naps in 1903, and finally the Cleveland Indians in 1914. 
From the team's earliest incarnation to their successful years between 1948 and 1954 to this season's stellar rise, this comprehensive volume traces the genesis of baseball in Cleveland, covering team lore and legend, the controversies, the triumphs, and the heartaches. It includes: 
200 player profiles—from Napolean Lajoie of the early 1900s to 1960s star Rocky Colavito to today's headliners like Dave Winfield and Eddie Murray 
season-by-season descriptions of great moments and memories 
over 700 illustrations of players, game highlights, and memorabilia, including a 16-page color photo gallery 
extensive statistics, including box scores, team and individual records, and trades 
the World Series championships, the managerial strategies, the personalities, honors, and the milestones 
an immense treasure-trove of little known facts and surprising anecdotes 
With special sections on the ballparks, the front office staff, the Hall of Famers, and the postseason, this book is a wealth of information for Indians fans, sports mavens, and trivia buffs alike.

The Cleveland Indians Encyclopedia

From the mid-1950s through the mid-1990s, the Cleveland Indians fielded teams that just couldn’t win. Yet each lousy team in those “bad old days” had its share of good guys, likeable and colorful young men who earned a spot in fans’ hearts, if not the Hall of Fame. 
Guys like “Super Joe” Charboneau, whose Rookie of the Year season inspired a nickname, a book, and a theme song, but whose career flamed out fast. Or Gomer Hodge, the former farm boy who went 4-for-4 in his first plate appearances with the Tribe and proudly announced that he had a 4.000 batting average. Veteran sportswriter Russell Schneider caught up with 45 former Indians players who played in Cleveland during the “bad old days” and found out what they think now about their playing days and their lives after baseball. 
Good-fielding shortstop Duane Kuiper was satisfied hitting just one home run in eight seasons because, he said, “Any more than that and people start expecting them.” Former knuckleball pitcher Tom Candiotti never pitched a no-hitter but did throw a perfect game―as a pro bowler. “Immortal” Joe Azcue tried hard to live up to his early nickname but his batting average proved him merely human. And shortstop Frank Duffy considered the Indians of the mid-’70s “just like a happy family” compared to what he found when he was traded to the Boston Red Sox. 
Sometimes nostalgic, sometimes tinged with disappointment, often humorous and insightful, their stories will take Tribe fans back to an age before multi-million dollar superstars, when the players were in it for the love of the game.
