This is a fan's nostalgic reminder of the great (and not-so-great) moments in the living memory of Cleveland Indians baseball. From the 1948 World Championship through some laughably bad seasons in the 1970s and 1980s to the championship seasons of the mid-1990s, this roller-coaster collection celebrates the top 350 highlights. Just mention a couple of them to any Indians fan and you'll see the reaction: Rocky Colavito and The Trade; Ten-Cent Beer Night; Len Barker's perfect game; Albert Belle's corked bat; the Jacob's Field magic of 1995. The memories roll on . . . A companion volume to the #1 bestselling Browns Memories by Tim Long.

I laughed, I cried...A tour de force!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Indians Memories: Heroes, Heartaches, and Highlights from the Last 50 Years of Cleveland Indians Baseball (Paperback)
This book hits on all cylinders. Few thought Long could possibly top his classic rookie effort, "Browns Memories," but once again, Long has stunned readers with his literary prowess. "Indians Memories" is truly a masterpiece-- and Long-- a legend in the making.

This review is from: Indians Memories: Heroes, Heartaches, and Highlights from the Last 50 Years of Cleveland Indians Baseball (Paperback)
My dad did a tremendous job pulling alot of these memories from his childhood throughout the years. The book is from the heart and brings out what the true tribe fan has gone through.
