During this week in Tribe history, (July 5, 1985), the Cleveland Indians received Scott Bailes from the Pittsburgh Pirates to complete a May 31 trade where the Indians sent shortstop Johnnie LeMaster to Pittsburgh.
This brought to an end a really bad trade that started on May 7.
It was a trade that perfectly summarized what it was like to grow up as an Indians fan.
So who was this Johnnie LeMaster anyway?
LeMaster, 31 at the time and never a great hitter, was hitting .000 for the Giants. The Indians sent left-hander Mike Jeffcoat and infielder Luis Quinones to the Giants.
