Before being named the Cleveland Indians, this Midwest team began originally as the Cleveland Naps. Not as in taking a Nap though. The team was named after superstar Nap Lajoie, a tremendous baseball player, and Hall of Famer. The Indians were also home to another iconic baseball player, Bob Feller. Not only did Bob Feller serve The United States of America, in the Navy to adjourn his playing career, he also struck out 17 Philadelphia Athletics when he was just 17 years old. Bob often autographed baseballs 17 at 17. The last time the Indians won the World Series was 1948, but they returned in 2016. When Cleveland changed the team name from Naps to Indians it was because of Native American player Louis Soclalexis, whose nickname was the Deerfoot of the Diamond. He also attended both University of Notre Dame, and Holy Cross. This 48-page activity book includes games, puzzles, mazes, drawing, coloring, dream team playing cards, educational activities, stickers and much more.
