Crybaby Rebellion: Ossie Vitt and the 1940 Cleveland Indians

內容簡介

內容簡介 In the long history of major league sports, players sometimes have battled their managers or head coaches, occasionally attempting to undermine their bosses to trigger a dismissal or a resignation. Only the 1940 Cleveland Indians took the ultimate step: they requested a meeting with the club president and co-owner, demanding the immediate dismissal of their abrasive manager, Oscar Vitt. This book describes the roles of management, Vitt, the players, the fans, and the media during this tumultuous period. It features a team fighting for the American League pennant in the closest race in 20 years, determined to take action despite ridicule as "crybabies" for the rest of the season as well as the rest of their careers.
