Cleveland Indians
Cleveland Indians was purchased by the investment group of Bill Veeck in 1946 .Veeck brought to Cleveland a gift for promotion being a former owner of a minor league franchise in Milwaukee. He began the innovative Major League career a Cleveland. Veeck agreed to move the club out of League Park and into Municipal Stadium permanently. The massive stadium did, however, permit the Indians to set the all-time one game regular-season attendance record in 1954 at over 84,000.
Under Veeck's leadership, Cleveland's most significant achievement was breaking the color barrier in the American League by signing Larry Doby. He was formerly a player for the Negro League's Newark Eagles in 1947.
In 1966 Daley's syndicate sold the team to frozen food millionaire Vernon Stouffer of Stouffer Foods and the team appeared to be well financed.
In 1986, The Jacobs brothers, Richard and David bought the club from Patrick O'Neill, the son of O?Neill who died in 1983.
The team's slide on the ballfield continued until the Tribe's inaugural season at Jacobs Field in the strike-shortened year of 1994.
