This first biography of four-time all-star Al Rosen covers the
career of perhaps the best player on the fabulous Cleveland
Indians' teams of the 1950s. From 1951 to 1956, the Tribe won one
American League pennant (1954) and finished second to New York the
other five seasons. Rosen was selected as the League's Most
Valuable Player in 1953, the last Indians' player to be so honored.
He led the League in home runs (43) and RBI (145). Washington's
Mickey Vernon edged Rosen by a single percentage point (.337 to
.336) for the league batting championship. His play between the
white lines was not the only place where Rosen left his mark on the
game. He spent 14 seasons as a President/General Manager for the
New York Yankees (1978-1979), Houston Astros (1981-1985) and the
San Francisco Giants (1986-1992). Under his guidance, those teams
won two pennants and one world championship. Rosen is the only
person in Major League Baseball history (since 2020) to win an MVP
award as a player and to be recognized as Executive of the Year by
The Sporting News (1987).
