Cleveland sports history goes well beyond The Shot, The Fumble, The Drive and so many other ignoble moments. Many of the city's most illustrious sports tales are long-forgotten chapters of tribulations and tragedy, of fleeting fame and enduring milestones. There are forgotten firsts, such as football's first pass and the invention of baseball's slider having ties to Cleveland. There are overshadowed tragedies like a fatal crash involving an Indians pitcher occurring the same year two of the team's hurlers were killed in a high-profile boating accident. And then there are the near misses--like George Steinbrenner coming within seconds of owning the Indians and a famous musician who almost became a Cleveland Brown. From basketball to boxing, hockey to Heisman, journalist Marc Bona chronicles more than a century of unremembered tales.

A must own for the long suffering Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Browns and Cleveland Cavaliers Fan. (Long suffering - is there any other kind?)"Red Right 88", "The Drive", "The Shot", "The Fumble" and "Quitness". These words are well known to any fan who, like me, grew up living and dying, laughing and crying with the Cleveland Indians, Browns and Cavaliers. It hasn't been all bad though - words like "Midges" "The Miracle of Richfield" and "Bernie Kosar" will bring a smile to even the most jaded fan.You will enjoy this look at events in Cleveland sports history - going all the way back to 1899 (The Great Cy Young Giveaway). It looks at the big stories, but also some small ones:What did Mike Hargrove get hit with on 10 cent beer night?What do Mrs. Grady Sizemore, Mrs. Tim Couch and Mrs. Jeff Garcia have in common?What was William Green wearing when he got pulled over? (A clue - just about as much as Mrs. Grady Sizemore, Mrs. Tim Couch and Mrs. Jeff Garcia wore when they became famous... but he didn't look nearly as good).The book is presented from the point of view of a lifelong fan. It's a humorous look at the history - because let's face it: If I can't LMAO, I'm going to CMAO.If you can't say "Pittsburgh Steelers" without throwing up a little in your mouth, this book is for you. If you've never called the Baltimore Ravens anything nicer than Ratbirds, this book is for you. If you think Art Modell should make the hall of fame immediately after his eternal home freezes over, this book is for you.If you refuse to buy a Samsung Galaxy because LeDouchy McQuitness now advertises them, this book is for you.If you wept tears of joy when the New England Patriots lost their perfect season to Eli Manning, this book is for you.If you're Bill Belichick, Cici Boozer, Gloria James, David Modell, Ben Roethlisberger, Derek Anderson or Dwayne Wade you might want to look elsewhere.If you just want to know more about what it feels like to grow up rooting for Cleveland sports, this book is definitely for you.

Sports talk in America has evolved from small-time barroom banter into a major media smorgasbord that runs 24/7 on TV and radio. With hundreds of billions of dollars generated annually by pro and college teams in major markets nationwide, sports fans across the country are more dedicated than ever to their teams. And when it comes to sports talk -- especially all-sports radio -- it's all about entertainment, information, prognostication, analysis, rankings, and endless discussion. Prominent sports-media figures in each of the three target cities -- Cleveland, Detroit, and Washington, D.C. -- engage in this phenomenon with a compilation of sports lists sure to delight as well as stir up debate within these already-buzzing sports communities. List topics include: What were the most lopsided trades in local sports history? Who were the most overrated athletes to play in our town? What local athlete had the best appearance in TV or film? What was the most heartbreaking loss in local sports history? What was the greatest single play in local sports history? Who are our team's most hated rivals? Plus dozens of "guest" lists contributed by famous local sports and entertainment celebrities. With franchises in three of the four major pro sports -- the Browns (NFL), the Indians (MLB), and the Cavaliers (NBA) -- plus a dedicated following of the Ohio State University athletics, Cleveland's fans are some of the most rabid and knowledgeable in the country, and Bill Livingston and Greg Brinda are the acknowledged authorities on Cleveland-area sports.

As the anchor titles in a new “Time Machine” Lyons Press baseball series, The Ultimate Cleveland Indians Time Machine presents a timeline format that not only includes the Indians’ greatest moments—including World Series appearances and individual achievements—but would focus also on some very unusual seasons and events, such as the team’s 20-134 season of 1899 (the absolute worst in baseball history), the "Crybabies" of 1940 (who received this nickname after complaining about their manager to such as extent that fans even turned on them), or the infamous “Ten Cent Beer Night of 1974” (when thousands of drunken fans stormed the field and forced the team to forfeit). Of course there are other events to recall, like 17-year-old Bob Feller making his debut and striking out 17 batters in 1936, or Albert Belle famously pointing at his muscle after a playoff opponent claimed (rightly) that he had corked his bat and one of his teammates sneaked into the umpire's room to steal it back so the umps could not find out that it was corked. There are dozens of impressive, wild, wacky and wonderful stories over the years regarding Indians history and Gitlin is the perfect person to write it with his trademark humor and thorough knowledge of Indians lore.
