A look back at some of the highlights from this week in Cleveland Indians history.
We start with some news that signaled the end of a great era in Indians history.
August 22, 1956 – End of an Era
News leaks that Al Lopez intends to resign at the end of the season, after six years, one pennant and five second-place finishes. Lopez moves on to the Chicago White Sox, where he wins the 1959 pennant.
The Indians, who averaged 95 wins per season under Lopez, did not win 90 or more games again until 1995.
