Here are my two questions for the day:
- What pitcher’s 215 MLB wins (70 with the Indians) left him 99 victories short of his Hall of Fame brother’s win total?
- Whom did the Indians receive in the infamous 1960 trade of Rocky Colavito to Detroit?

Sure did, and was a #1 to boot.
Vardell is correct.

Boy was my Dad super salty about the Colavito trade. He brought it up on a regular basis when I was growing up.

Good job, cat_lover!
And Kuenn was only with the Indians for one season.

Gaylord Perry was a Horse! One of my all time favorite Tribe pitchers.
*I just looked it up.......He was 39 years old when he won 21 games for the Padres.

Charles smith is who I think of from those pitt teams, but I don't think that he was from Ohio.

Jerome Lane is correct!
Back in the day, when I was coaching, we met up with Lane and Stams a couple of times in the Districts at the Canton Field House. They beat us, I think twice and we got them once in Lane’s senior year.

Baseball seems too obvious. I'll guess boxing.

It’s boxing, but I can’t remember who.
Also, one of the reasons for building the stadium was to host Olympics. Never happened.

You guys are right. Professional Boxing, Schmeling vs Stribling. Burr and Hamilton were on the undercard.

Interestingly enough, Schmeling set up training camp at Conneaut Lake Park, and Striking had his at Geauga State Park.
