Cleveland Rocked

In 1995, Cleveland rocked with Montell Jordan’s “This Is How We Do It.” The Indians racked up 100 wins, reached the World Series, and brought sellout crowds and walk-off wins to Carnegie and Ontario. Author Zack Meisel traces the team’s roots from trading Joe Carter to building a new stadium. Introducing larger-than-life personalities like Belle, Thome, Kenny Lofton, Eddie Murray, and manager Mike Hargrove, Meisel recounts thrilling come-from-behind wins and the Indians’ October to Remember, including playoff triumphs over Boston and Seattle and the first World Series games in Cleveland since Bob Feller. 

This book offers the story of a team that revived baseball in Northeast Ohio.
