Webb shines at shortstop for Indians in strong showing
Cleveland writer Cobbledick praises Jimmy Webb's defense as the Tribe considers a new shortstop. Webb's improved play recalls Joey Sewell with sure hands and a powerful throwing arm, suggesting the front office may have misread Webb's form. The column also notes Harmon Field must be vacated by August 28 and the Ohio State Girls Softball Tournament faces Sunday game restrictions.
