Overview

Calling all Tribe fans! In this one-of-a-kind compendium of anecdotes, stats, and facts, Russell Schneider captures all the magic and passion of Cleveland Indians baseball. Amazing Tales from the Cleveland Indians Dugout is a colorful journey through the history of the Cleveland Indians. It includes the best memories and stories from Schneider's Tales from the Cleveland Indians and More Tales from the Cleveland Indians, writtenin the players’ and managers’ own words. Within these pages, fans will chafe at the rivalries, cheer with the wins, and challenge the losses both on the road and at home. Max Alvis reveals his most embarrassing moment on the field, Mickey Cochrane orders Harry Eisenstat to intentionally bean a batter, and Doc Edwards groans in agony during the game in which he finally figures out Cal Ripken’s signals to the outfield (the Indians scored ten runs by knowing which pitch was coming and still managed to lose). Featured players include the Alomar brothers, Lou Boudreau, Orel Hershiser, Ralph Kiner, Minnie Minoso, Omar Vizquel, and so many other Tribe legends. This massive collection captures the story and glory of Indians baseball both on the field and off. Without a doubt this tantalizing offering from Indians expert Russell Schneider will provide hours of entertainment for Indians fans and baseball fans alike.
