Perhaps the city hit the hardest by a trade was Cleveland when Rocky Colavito was dealt to the Tigers for Harvey Kuenn. Rocky had matinee idol looks and was the team’s power. Kuenn was a line drive hitter, a hard nosed player with a giant chaw in his cheek and a regular stool at many bars in American League cities. Took a long time for fans to forgive Indian brass.
