nents, outscoring opponents by a 142-37 margin (+105; 6.5RPG vs. 1.7RPG)...the +105 run differential signaled the

season-ending run differential for all but 8 of the 30 Major League teams...Cleveland hit more homers (41) during the
streak than runs allowed (37)...the Indians outscored opponents 69-14 (+55) in innings 1-through-3.

tions - Kluber through the Office of the Commissioner, the other three via player voting...signaled most selections for
Cleveland since sending five players in 2004 (Rafael Belliard, Matt Lawton, Victor Martinez, CC Sabathia, Jake
Westbrook)...Kluber became the first Indians starting right-handed pitcher to earn consecutive All-Star bids since
Early Wynn from 1955-57...Miller became the first left-handed Cleveland reliever to make the A.L. All-Star team
since Sid Monge in 1979...in keeping with tradition for pennant winners, Indians coaches and several staff members

7 games, 2x: Aug. 18-24, Sept. 6-12...according to FanGraphs, the Indians defense was credited with 27 ‘Defensive Runs
Saved’ (DRS), 3rd-most in the A.L. & 7th-most in the Majors behind Tampa Bay (51), Los Angeles-NL (48), Boston (45),

break in 1st place with a 2.5-game lead in the A.L. Central...paired with 2016 (6.5-game lead), it marked the first time for
Cleveland to hold 1st place at the turn in consecutive seasons since doing so in six straight campaigns from 1994-’99...the
Indians went a Major League-best 55-20 (.733) after the All-Star break to gain an additional 14.5 games in the standings;
matched 1954 (55-16) for most wins ever for Cleveland after the All-Star break (1933-present), also the most second-half
wins by any team in the Majors since the 2001 Oakland Athletics went 58-17 (.773)...Tribe’s second half began with a

The Indians have never finished first in the first year of a new ownership. The Dolan ownership was only the
second in club history to debut with a second place finish. Cleveland finished second in 1953 under
the new ownership group with Myron H. “Mike” Wilson, Jr. as its president.
FELLER DEBUT
July 19, 2001 marked the 65th anniversary of Bob Feller’s debut with the Indians on July 19, 1936. Bob took
his big league bow in a relief appearance at Washington. The next month, Bob made his starting debut and
recorded 15 strikeouts as Cleveland beat the St. Louis Browns 4-1 at League Park.
EARL AVERILL — #3
Earl Averill played 13 seasons in the majors, 11 of those with the Indians. The Snohomish,
Washington native broke into the league with the Tribe in 1929, homered in his first plate
appearance on April 16, 1929 and batted .331 his rookie year. Earl retired after the 1941
season with a .318 lifetime average.
Averill was a six‑time A.L. All‑Star and started in the mid‑summer classic three times, in 1936, ’37 and
’38. The left‑handed hitting outfielder led the league with 232 hits and 15 triples in 1936. In 1931, he
scored 140 runs, which still represents an Indians single‑season record.
Earl left the Indians in 1939 as the franchise's all‑time leader in runs scored (1,154), triples (121), RBI
(1,084), extra‑base hits (724), and total bases (3,200), totals that still top the club today. Averill is one
of seven Tribe players to have hit for the cycle. He did it on August 17, 1933 vs. Philadelphia.
Earl was the first Indians player to homer three times in one game as he cracked three round‑trippers
on September 17, 1930 in consecutive at‑bats. He collected 32 homers in 1931 and ’32 and 143 RBIs
in 1931. Both represent season‑highs by a Tribe centerfielder.
Earl Averill’s #3 was retired by the Indians in 1975, the same year that he was inducted into the Baseball
Hall of Fame. He passed away on August 16, 1983 at the age of 81.

No team brought more players from Negro League baseball to Major League Baseball than the Cleveland
Indians. Beginning with Larry Doby in 1947, 15 former Negro Leaguers began careers with the Indians,
concluding with Joe Caffie who debuted for Cleveland on September 19, 1956. In alphabetical order, the
Negro Leaguers to debut with the Indians are Walt Bond, Caffie, Doby, Luke Easter, Billy Harrell, Dave
Hoskins, Sam Jones, Minnie Minoso, Satchel Paige, Dave Pope, Larry Raines, Jose Santiago, Harry
Simpson, Al Smith, and Quincy Trouppe. (Source: The Negro Leagues Book)
F I R ST DH I N C LU B H I STORY
The first regular season designated hitter for the Indians was John Ellis. Ellis batted clean-up on April 7,
1973 when the Tribe opened the season against the Tigers at Cleveland Stadium. In his first at-bat, in the first
inning, Ellis grounded out from pitcher Mickey Lolich to first baseman Norm Cash. He went 0 for 4. Oscar
Gamble was Cleveland’s most frequent DH in 1973 (259 at-bats).

3000 H I TS I N T R I BE U N I FOR M
Of the 28 players in major league baseball history with 3,000 or more hits, three of them reached the
hallowed mark in a Cleveland uniform: Nap Lajoie, Tris Speaker and Eddie Murray. Murray joined the 3,000
hit club on June 30, 1995 against the Twins at the Metrodome in Minnesota. Speaker reached 3,000 hits on
May 17, 1925 against the Washington Senators at League Park. Lajoie’s 3,000th hit is less clear. Initially, his
3,000th hit was reported on September 27, 1914. Subsequent research found that Lajoie had nine hits in 1901
not previously recorded. Consequently, his 3,000th hit actually came on September 17, 1914 against Boston
at League Park.

OTHER NO-HITTERS
Earl Moore’s 1901 no hitter (5/9/01) was one of those affected by a 1991 ruling regarding no-hitters. Moore
pitched nine no-hit innings, but allowed hits in the 10th inning in a 4-2 loss against Chicago. One no hitter
pitched against Cleveland prior to 1991 was also affected by the 1991 ruling. Tom Hughes (8/30/10) allowed
a hit in the 10th and lost the game, 5-0, in the 11th. On April 12, 1992 Matt Young did not allow a hit in a 2-1
Tribe win over Boston at Cleveland Stadium. Young pitched the entire eight innings for Boston (Cleveland
did not bat in the ninth), but, based on the 1991 ruling, did not receive credit for a no-hitter.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau the 33 years without a 20-game winner (1975-2007) was the longest
gap in Major League history, one year longer than the Phillies’ 32-year streak from 1918 to 1949...The last
Indians pitcher to be the first pitcher in the Majors to reach 20 wins was BOB LEMON in 1954 (August 29).

For pitchers, an equivalent of batting’s Triple Crown is leading the league in wins, strikeouts, and ERA in a
single season. Bob Feller accomplished this feat in 1940 with 27 wins, 261 strikeouts, and a 2.61 ERA. Feller
captured two legs of this Triple Crown in 1939 (24 wins, 246 strikeouts), 1941 (25 wins, 260 strikeouts), 1946
(26 wins, 348 strikeouts), and 1947 (20 wins, 196 strikeouts). Bob Lemon (23 wins, 170 strikeouts) in 1950
and Sam McDowell (2.18 ERA, 325 strikeouts) in 1965 also came within one title of the Triple Crown.

The 1995 Indians are one of just four teams in AL history to win 100 or more games without a
20-game winner. The others were the 1984 Tigers, 1941 Yankees, and 1915 Red Sox. Cleveland’s
win leaders in 1995 were Charles Nagy and Dennis Martinez, each with 16 wins. Nine NL teams
have won 100 or more games without a 20-game winner. (Source: The Great Book of Baseball

From 1901 until 1994, every unassisted triple play in American League history involved the
Cleveland Indians. Cleveland’s Neal Ball was credited with the first unassisted triple play in AL
history on July 19, 1909. Three Tribe players (Frank Brower on September 14, 1923; Homer Summa
on May 31, 1927; and Joe Azcue on July 29, 1968) have hit into unassisted triple plays. Cleveland’s
Bill Wambsganass turned the only unassisted triple play in World Series history on October 10, 1920.
The first unassisted triple play in AL history not involving the Indians was on July 15, 1994 when
Boston’s John Valentin turned three against Minnesota.

GAME ONE AT CLEVELAND STADIUM - July 8, 1935, American League 4, National League 1
A crowd of 69,831 - the largest throng to see an All-Star Game (until 1981 in Cleveland) - packed the lakefront
Stadium for just the third mid-summer classic in history. The partial American League crowd was thrilled to a 4-1
junior circuit victory, the A.L.’s third straight All-Star win.
Jimmy Foxx belted a two-run homer in the first inning and the American Leaguers coasted to the win as Lefty
Gomez and Mel Harder baffled the National League hitters.
GAME TWO AT CLEVELAND STADIUM - July 13, 1954, American League 11, National League 9
In a spectacular slugfest that set All-Star marks for runs and hits by the two clubs, the American League edged
the National 11-9. The slugfest produced six home runs, including four by the A.L. The Indians’ Al Rosen clubbed
a pair of homers while he and his Cleveland teammates Bobby Avila and Larry Doby combined for eight RBI.
The 1954 contest was a wild seesaw contest which saw the lead change six times before the A.L. pulled out the
11-9 win with a three run rally in the eighth. Ironically, it was Nellie Fox’s broken bat single over second base with
the bases loaded in the eighth that provided the margin of victory.
GAME THREE AT CLEVELAND STADIUM - July 9, 1963, National League 5, American League 3
After four years as a double feature, the All-Star Game went to a single performance and saw the National League
utilize its speed and gain its first Cleveland Stadium win, 5-3.
Willie Mays was easily the game’s outstanding performer, going 1-for-3 with two RBI, two runs scored, two stolen
bases, a walk and the game’s most scintillating catch. 44,160 fans saw the action.
GAME FOUR AT CLEVELAND STADIUM - August 9, 1981, National League 5, American League 4
An all-time record All-Star Game crowd of 72,086 welcomed back baseball from the 50-day players strike and saw
the National League edge the American 5-4. The 72,086 fans gave Cleveland the top three crowds in All-Star history.
Gary Carter clubbed two home runs, including a seventh inning solo shot to put the National Leaguers ahead to
stay. Cleveland’s Lenny Barker faced just six batters in his two innings of work, striking out one.
GAME FIVE AT JACOBS FIELD - July 8, 1997, American League 3, National League 1
Indians host the 68th Mid-Summer Classic for a record 5th time as Sandy Alomar hit a 2-out, 2-run homer off SF
LHP Shawn Estes in the 7th inning, breaking a 1-1 tie. Alomar sent 44,945 fans home happy, becoming the first
Indian ever to win an ASG MVP and the first player in MLB history to be named MVP in his home park.
Randy Johnson and Greg Maddux started the contest and a total of 14 pitchers were used. Edgar Martinez and
Javy Lopez also homered in the game, which took just 2:36 minutes to play.
