"The Best They Could Be is a congenial page-turner, a
fluidly-written and thoroughly researched account of an
under-appreciated championship club."--Bill Lamb, Inside Game
"In The Best They Could Be, author Scott Longert brings to life the
triumph and tragedy of an unforgettable season in Indians history.
A must read not just for every serious Cleveland sports fan, but
for all baseball fans."--Bud Shaw, Cleveland Plain Dealer sports
columnist
"It's World Series time. And for fans of the Cleveland Indians,
that means lots of football, leaf raking and pining for days gone
by. . . . Longert's 280-page missive on the '20 Indians is for the
serious Tribe fan who wants to be either reminded or taught about
how the Indians went from bottom-feeder to contender in the late
1910s."--Phil Trexler, Akron Beacon Journal
"Scott Longert blends a strong sense of history, solid research,
and fine writing. This isn't just for Cleveland Indians fans; it's
for anyone who wants to experience baseball during the era of the
First World War, when players climbed out of the coal mines, onto
the diamonds, and into fans' hearts."--Marc Bona, Cleveland Plain
Dealer editor
"Scott Longert's well-researched story of the making of the 1920
Cleveland Indians is one of the true underdog tales in baseball
history. The Best They Could Be is a welcome addition to the
baseball library."--Mike Sowell, author of The Pitch That Killed
and One Pitch Away
