Description

Relive the most thrilling seasons of Cleveland Indians baseball in recent memory! Remember the excitement of those first years at Jacobs Field? When it seemed the Indians could find a way to win almost any game? When screaming fans rocked the jam-packed stands every night? When a brash young team snapped a forty-year slump and electrified the city? Those weren't baseball seasons, they were year-long celebrations. Step back into the glory days with sportswriter Terry Pluto and broadcaster Tom Hamilton as they share behind-the-scenes stories about a team with all-stars at nearly every position ... a sparkling new ballpark ... wild comeback victories ... a record sellout streak ... two trips to the World Series ... and a city crazed with Indians fever. Revisit baseball's most fearsome lineup: Albert Belle's mighty swing and ferocious glare ... Jim Thome's moon-shot home runs ... Omar Vizquel's poetry-in-motion play at shortstop ... Kenny Lofton's exhilarating baserunning and over-the-wall catches ... These two Cleveland baseball veterans were there for it all. Now, they combine firsthand experience and in-depth player interviews to tell a rich, detailed story that Tribe fans will love.
