The Cleveland Indians (Writing Sports)

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.

5A Web Gem From Back In The Day  Jun 08, 2009
By Bicycle Day
This book is one of those special web gems that has fortunately found its way back into print.

Penned in 1949 by Franklin "Whitey" Lewis, the history of Cleveland professional baseball and the Indians came on the heels of the 1948 World Series victory that made for an incredible season in the cavernous Municipal Stadium that rocked to a number of attendance records in Major League Baseball.

There are features on the stars over the years - including Cy Young, Nap Lajoie, Addie Joss and Tris Speaker - with particular emphasis on the 1948 season and flamboyant owner Bill Veeck, fireballer "Rapid" Robert Feller and Larry Doby. Of particular interest is a published box score from 1871, the first that used the system developed by baseball writer Henry Chadwick, which has major elements that are still used today.

There is a wealth of photographs and an interesting foreward written by Cleveland baseball historian Russell Schneider. While the book has particular regional interest, it will be an all-star addition to the library of any baseball fan who enjoys taking a step back in time on a field of dreams.
