A Tribe Reborn: How the Cleveland Indians of the '90s Went from Cellar Dwellers

Description: A Tribe Reborn by George Christian Pappas, Hank Peters Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description For almost fifty years, the Cleveland Indians were a joke. They had won the 1948 World Series with one of the greatest teams of all-time, but had not been to the playoffs since 1954 (losing to the New York Giants in the World Series). Even the "Major League" movies poked fun at their inadequacy. Publisher Description For almost 50 years, the Cleveland Indians were a joke. They had won the 1948 World Series with one of the greatest teams of all time, but had not been to the playoffs since 1954 (losing to the New York Giants in the World Series). Even the Major League movies poked fun at their inadequacy. That all changed in the 1990s, when the Indians became one of the most dominant teams of the decade.A Tribe Reborn tells the story of a failing franchise, from "The Mistake by the Lake" to "The Curse of Rocky Colavito," and how a laughingstock team that was on the verge of relocating changed its ways to become a dominant franchise.With the building of the state-of-the-art Jacobs Field (which the Indians sold out a record 455 consecutive games, from 19952001) to changes in how their scouting, front office, and locker room were run, the team that nobody cared about became front-page news across the country.With interviews from Jim Thome, Omar Vizquel, Mike Hargrove, John Hart, and many more, A Tribe Reborn is a fantastic look inside how a losing franchise changed its ways to become a perennial powerhouse. While the Indians of the 90s never won a World Series (appearing twice in 1995 and 1997), they are still remembered for their hard play, amazing talent, and rabid fan base.Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Sports Publishing imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in sports-books about baseball, pro football, college football, pro and college basketball, hockey, or soccer, we have a book about your sport or your team.Whether you are a New York Yankees fan or hail from Red Sox nation; whether you are a die-hard Green Bay Packers or Dallas Cowboys fan; whether you root for the Kentucky Wildcats, Louisville Cardinals, UCLA Bruins, or Kansas Jayhawks; whether you route for the Boston Bruins, Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens, or Los Angeles Kings; we have a book for you.
