Joe Sewell made his major league debut for the Cleveland Indians late in the 1920 season, albeit via tragic circumstances.  Purchased from New Orleans of the Southern Association, Sewell was brought in to replace Ray Chapman, who died abruptly when an errant pitch killed him by Carl Mays of the New York Yankees.  From tragedy bore treasure for Sewell, who was the starting Shortstop for the Indians team that won the 1920 World Series.

One of the most underrated players in Baseball's history has to be George Uhle, a Pitcher who spent most of his career with the Cleveland Indians and won an even 200 Games, 147 as an Indian.

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.
