Join us as we take a journey through Cleveland Indians history with author Martin Gitlin.
Take a fun and enlightening journey through Cleveland Indians history with Martin Gitlin, author of the Ultimate Cleveland Indians Time Machine. We will see videos and photographs of the greatest and most fascinating players, teams, events and moments in franchise history. Local Author Martin Gitlin covers Cleveland baseball history from the fascinating 1899 Spiders, whose 20-134 record remains the worst in major league history, to the brilliance of Bob Feller and the championship team of 1948 to the miseries of the 1960s and beyond to the pennant winners of the 1990s and 2016 to the death of Chief Wahoo and the team nickname. There will be trivia questions to ponder, ending with a question-and-answer session. Author Martin Gitlin will have autographed and personalized copies of his book available online following the program.
