Reviews

[Janice Corturillo]

I love all the baseball history and inside stories!

[Lauren]

A GREAT follow-up to the Curse of Rocky Colavito, in this book, Terry follows the return to glory in the 90's and what a ride that was. Having been a 20-game ticket holder since '93, the year before the move to Jacobs'Field, this books covers all the great experiences I've had with the Tribe at The Jake.

Terry Pluto is a favorite sports writer of mine. In this book he recounts the glory years of the 90's Indians' teams. Alomar, Belle, Thome, Mesa, Murray, Hargrove & More. This a must read for all Tribe fans.

"Burying the Curse: How the Indians became the best Team in Baseball" - written by Terry Pluto and published in 1995 by the Akron Beacon Journal. A great way to relive the glory days of the 90s at the Jake.

This book was written a little too soon.

Sorry Cleveland!
