unreferenced date June 2010 The Curse of RockyColavito is a phenomenon that supposedly prevents the Cleveland Indians baseball team from winning, be it the World Series , the American League pennant, reaching postseason play, or even getting into a pennant race. Its origin is traced back to the unpopular trade of right fielder RockyColavito for Harvey Kuenn in 1960. Origins The 1960 trade between the Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Indians sent The Rock, the home run champion of 1959 to the Tigers for Harvey Kuenn, batting champion of 1959. It was a unique trade between a home run champion, 42 home runs in 59, and a hitting champion, .359 batting average in 59. Fans in Cleveland were outraged by the betrayal of their GM Frank Trader Lane. In only 2 years at the Indians Lane had taken a mostly successful 40 man roster and had traded every single player he had inherited away. Fans in Detroit were mostly happy about the trade. Birth of the Curse The idea of the curse was first presented in print ... 1994 book The Curse of RockyColavito A Loving Look at a 33 Year Slump , Pluto suggested that the trade, made by Indians general manager Frank Lane to blunt Colavito s popularity and salary ...
