Colavito Kuenn swap sends star from Cleveland to Detroit
Cleveland star Rocky Colavito will wear a Detroit uniform when the Indians open the 1960 season against the Tigers. Detroit trades Harvey Kuenn, the 1959 AL batting champion, for speed and defense. Tigers president Bill DeWitt expects increased run production. Colavito hit 42 homers last year. Kuenn batted .353 with nine homers. Lane says the deal strengthens both clubs for a pennant push.
