Lee Fohl Idol of Cleveland Fans Since Indians Got Started
Lee Fohl, 36, has attracted international attention as a baseball figure with the Cleveland Indians. His long career spans catcher days in Des Moines in 1903, stints in Homestead and Youngstown, managing Lima to a pennant in 1910 and Akron in 1911, and later leading clubs in Columbus and Waterbury before joining Cleveland. Cleveland, on the big league map since 1879, has never won a pennant, with the Forest City placing best in the National League at sixth during 1889–84 and a fragile pennant record in the Johnson league era.
