Albert Belle was the most prolific slugger for the Indians in the 1990s.  Coincidentally, he was also their most infamous player of the decade.

In the first half of the 1950s, Mike Garcia was part of an excellent pitching staff that the Cleveland Indians had that boasted Bob Lemon, Early Wynn, and Bob Feller.  Garcia was then and now in the shadows of those more prominent names, but he was a star in his own right.

The career of “Shoeless” Joe Jackson is mostly known in Chicago for his participation (or lack thereof) in the 1919 “Black Sox” scandal.  That isn’t wrong, but it was in Cleveland where Jackson had his most productive years as a baseball player.

One of the most prolific power hitters of all-time, Jim Thome blasted 337 of his 612 Home Runs as a Cleveland Indian.
