"Touchdown" Tommy Vardell? Boy did he SUCK when he played in the 216.

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

Jim Perry
Harvey Kuehn
Boy was my Dad super salty about the Colavito trade. He brought it up on a regular basis when I was growing up.
Senior Member
#2. Kuenn.

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.
Senior Member
Won 70 games in 3 1/2 seasons in Cleveland, and threw over 1000 innings.
Senior Member
His complete games stats are amazing.

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

Hint: One of his teammates in HS was Frank Stams. (Notre Dame football and also played for the Browns)

"Send it in Jerome" Jerome Lane
Senior Member
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.
Senior Member
It’s boxing, but I can’t remember who.
Also, one of the reasons for building the stadium was to host Olympics. Never happened.

Here’s my joke answer: Burr vs. Hamilton
Senior Member
You guys are right. Professional Boxing, Schmeling vs Stribling. Burr and Hamilton were on the undercard.
Attendance: 36,000
Senior Member
Max Schmeling had some big fights with Joe Lewis (Germany vs. USA)
Senior Member
Interestingly enough, Schmeling set up training camp at Conneaut Lake Park, and Striking had his at Geauga State Park.
GOAT
Jerome Lane is from SVSM!? Never knew.
