Memories of more than 200 all-time Cleveland Indian favorites from Bobby Avila to Jim Thome who played for Cleveland teams since 1901, when Clevelands professional baseball franchise began as a charter member of the American League, are profiled in this latest book by sportswriter/sports historian Russell Schneider. A collection of stories and anecdotes about players, managers and games, that entertained and have been cherished by fans over the years, beginning April 24, 1901, when Cleveland lost to Chicago, 8-2, in the American Leagues first game, and continues into the Indians 100th season in 2000.
