NEAL BALL
"Neal Ball, Cleveland's active infielder, first played in 1903 in Toledo, and then with Cedar Rapids of the I.I.I. League, covering second in 1904 and 1905 and short in 1906. In 1907 he graduated to the Montgomery club of the Southern Association and batted .301.
In 1908 and 1909 he played with the New York Americans. Released to Cleveland in early 1909, on July 19 he accomplished the rare feat of making an unassisted triple play, one of five recorded in base ball history."

JOE BIRMINGHAM
"Joseph Birmingham, one of the Cleveland Americans' regular outfielders, was a leader in high school base ball in his native city of Elmira, New York, and afterward as a center fielder became the star of the local amateur teams.
In 1906 he began playing professionally with the strong A.J.G. team of the New York State League. His reputation for all-round play was such that the Cleveland club bought his release in August of that year."

ADDIE JOSS
"Addie Joss, whose death in 1911 was a great loss to his team and the national game, was a native of Cleveland and had always played with the team of that city.
His best year was 1908 when he won 24 games and lost 9 and put the Naps within half a point of the pennant. On October 2 of that year, he pitched a game against Chicago in which no player of the White Sox reached first base.
He was a faithful player, liked by his team mates and respected by the public, many thousands of whom attended his funeral."

GEORGE STOVALL
"George Stovall, first baseman of the Cleveland Americans, started out as a pitcher but an accident to his arm made him change to first base, and he has developed into one of the best players at that position.
He first played with the Cleveland team in 1904 and has since played all positions outside of the battery. For the last three years he has stuck to his regular position at first, and his work there has ranked high."

TERRY TURNER
"Terry Turner, the agile and reliable shortstop of the Cleveland Indians, first played professional ball in 1899 at Greenville. His first season with Cleveland was 1904, when he made good at once.
He has also played at second, third and in the outfield for Cleveland and has done good work. In his regular position at short, Terry has led all the shortstops in the American League. His percentage for 1910, .973, was the highest ever made by a shortstop."

CY YOUNG
"Cy Young, Cleveland's veteran pitcher, has had a long and successful career. Among his greatest individual feats are a game of May 5, 1904, when not one of the hard-hitting Athletics reached first base, and another on June 30, 1908, against the Highlanders when only one man got on base.
Prior to 1910, Cy failed only three times in his many years pitching to win a majority of his games. In 1910 he won his 500th game, an unsurpassed record.
August 12, 1908- Cy Young Day- was celebrated in Boston. He was presented with all the receipts for the game and more silverware and floral designs than he could carry."
