From the Publisher:
They were described by Al Rosen as being like the Three Musketeers, you know, one for all and all for one. Bob Lemon called them Uninspirable, because we felt we were going to win all the time. Those were The Boys of the Summer of '48, who excited and enthralled not only Cleveland fans, but also those in the entire northeastern Ohio area. It was the last time the Indians won the World Series.

It's A Fact!
"In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes when you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase, 'Goodnight, sleep tight.' "
