If you are my age, and lived thru the twin debacles of Frank Lane and multiple owners with no freaking money, the list is in the hundreds. Almost all of them sucked as MLB players. The few that didnt were quickly traded.
But I loved them all. They were MY guys.
Long before the internet was a gleam in Al Gores eye, the only time you could get cumulative stats was in the Sunday paper, which listed every qualifying players season stats thru the previous Friday night games.
I would duly cut the page out, pin it to the wall of my cardboard closet, and underline all the Tribe players. A vast majority of those underlines were at or near the bottom of the page.
Immortal names, like...
Ty Cline
Mike de la Hose
Wynn Hawkins
Barry Latman
Bubba Phillip's
Steve Hargan
Chico Salmon
Fred (Wingy) Whitfield
