The Cleveland Indians (nicknamed The Tribe) are a MLB team based in Cleveland, Ohio.

The team is part of the Central Division of the American League.

In 1946 Bill Veeck created an investment group that purchased the Cleveland Indians from Bradley's group. At Cleveland his career would bring him fame and a good reputation among many.

The new team was originally owned by Charles W. Somers and Jack Kilfoy.

From 1959 to 1993, the Indians managed one third-place and five fourth-place finishes but spent the rest of the time in the American League cellar.

In the 2001 offseason, GM John Hart resigned and his assistant Mark Shapiro took the reins.
