This book is the day by day story of the 1954 Indians, whose .721 winning percentage is still the highest in American League history. It tells how down the city of Cleveland was on the team following three straight second-place finishes, how little was expected of it by its fans, and even some of its players, and how it exceeded all expectations by winning a league-record 111 games and a pennant, before flopping in the World Series.

“this well-researched book is eminently readable...the equivalent of sitting in a bar, nursing a beer, and listening intently to the insights of a baseball- loving pal who has detailed a season in the life of a big league ball club”—Nine.
