A countdown of the Cleveland Indians' greatest games It's far too
easy to allow the national media and disparaging fans to undermine
Clevelanders' views of their professional sports teams. While the
Browns, Indians, and Cavaliers have certainly caused more than
their fair share of frustration and heartbreak over the past
century, there are countless moments of glory in the fertile
athletic history of Northeast Ohio that receive little notice east
of Shaker Heights or west of Rocky River. Jonathan Knight's Classic
Cleveland Series sets out to combat this trend, bundling together
the most memorable moments of Cleveland's beloved athletic clubs.
In three separate publications, Knight ranks the fifty greatest
games in each franchise with entertaining accounts of each contest,
properly placing them in the broad landscape of civic history.
Regardless of what the current editions of the Browns, Indians, and
Cavs accomplish, every contest played is another chapter in an epos
connecting each generation of fans to the ones before it. The
Classic Cleveland Series colorfully illustrates that regardless of
today's final score, the simple continuation of the saga is reason
enough for reflection and celebration. Classic Tribe counts down
the fifty greatest Cleveland Indians games, from wild ninth-inning
comebacks to dazzling pitching performances to spellbinding playoff
encounters. The storied history of Cleveland's endearing baseball
franchise is sprinkled throughout these tales, from weekday
matinees at cozy League Park at the dawn of the twentieth century
to unforgettable autumn nights at Jacobs Field. Knight ranks World
Series masterpieces alongside incredible individual performances
and historic achievements: two perfect games seventy-three years
apart, the most memorable of the 1954 Tribe's record 111 victories,
and the greatest comeback in baseball history. Included in these
pages are the heroics of Tribe legends like Stan Coveleski, Bob
Feller, Lou Boudreau, Rocky Colavito, and Omar Vizquel to name just
a few. Whether played on a balmy summer night on the lakefront or
on a golden October afternoon at the corner of Carnegie and
Ontario, each game included in Classic Tribe is worth remembering
and revisiting. Sure to spark interest and debate, Classic Tribe
will appeal to Indians fans everywhere.
