Genuine fans take the best team moments with the less than great, and know that the games that are best forgotten make the good moments truly shine. This monumental book of the Cleveland Indians documents all the best moments and personalities in the history of the team, but also unmasks the regrettably awful and the unflinchingly ugly. In entertaining--and unsparing--fashion, this book sparkles with Indians highlights and lowlights, from wonderful and wacky memories to the famous and infamous. Such moments include the impressive playoff run in 2007 and the opening of Jacobs Field, but also the 23-2 loss to the Twins in 2003 and the debacle that was the "ten cent beer night" in 1974. Whether providing fond memories, goose bumps, or laughs, this portrait of the team is sure to appeal to the fan who has been through it all.
