Named the Indians in 1915 to honor Louis Sockalexis, the Tribe has had its share of ups and downs. After winning championships in 1920 and 1948 and a pennant in 1954, the Indians slumped following the 1960 trade of fanfavorite Rocky Colavito, not coming within 11 games of first place until 1993. But in the '90s, with the help of players like Sandy Alomar, Jim Thome, Kenny Lofton, and Manny Ramirez, the Indians turned things around, even though the decade culminated in an ultimately disappointing trip to the 1997 World Series. Ten years later, the Indians' future is again bright with big hopes and new stars. Through it all, the Indians faithful have stood by their team. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Cleveland Indians is a must for every fan who wants an unflinching look at the greatest-and worst-players, coaches, and moments in Indians history!
