First published by G. P. Putnam's Sons in 1949, Franklin "Whitey"
Lewis's The Cleveland Indians begins with the organization's early
years as the Cleveland Forest Citys, covers the 1920 World Series
victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers, and concludes with the
excitement of the 1948 pennant race. This early team history covers
such Cleveland legends as Cy Young, from his days in Tuscarawas
County and Canton and his time with the Cleveland Spiders; Bob
Feller, his discovery and development; and Larry Doby, the second
African American to play in the major leagues and the first to play
in the American League. It also delivers such forgotten and
lesser-known stories as professional baseball's first-ever perfect
game, thrown by John Lee Richmond of Worcester against the
Cleveland Forest Citys on June 12, 1880; the acquisition of
Napoleon Lajoie and the city's vote to change the team's name to
the Napoleons (Naps) in his honor; and Charles W. Somers and John
F. Kilfoyl and the birth of the American League.
