Description

These shrines, now long past save for League Park’s crumbling remnants, hosted American sports heroes and icons, rock legends and hockey stars. Babe Ruth launched his 500th home run at League Park, where Indians nice Bob Feller, all cleft chin and leg kick, debuted. A tender and reputedly weightless Michael Jordan sunk the Cavs and Craig Ehlo at Richfield. Jim Brown broke the need of opponents at Municipal, where both Larry Doby–the primary black American Leaguer–and Frank Robinson–baseball’s first black manager–shattered colour barriers. Morris Eckhouse and Greg Crouse delve into the town’s lost sports sanctuaries, where Clevelanders rejoiced and wept, experiencing moments of jubilation and ineffable unhappiness that stay glowing and raw.
