    Kenny Lofton's 10 years with the tribe, is worth a mention too (averaged over .300 BA in Cleveland).

    450 stolen bases with Cleveland (all-time SB tribe record, had 622 stolen bases, 15 all-time in MLB history)

    110 triples ranked second among active players.

    not too shabby. Cleveland rocks!

    I'm a fan of Omar! I like the votes for Rocky, Lofton, and Thome too.

    Cleveland has had great players?

    a lot of good choices already....but I still believe it's Rocky. When he left it was like someone burned down city hall. Thome would be my second choice....and if my memory is correct Al Rosen is also still kicking and would also rate up near the top. Omar, Kenny, even Albert Belle were awesome offensive players.... Sam McDowell, Sonny Seibert, Cliff Lee, CC, Doug Jones, they also had a slew of decent pitchers.....even the infamous Jose Mesa who couldn't save one game in the WS....

    Gaylord would be on a all time great San Francisco Giants thread, although not at the top......Mays, Marichal, McCovey, and a whole slew of others are still alive who I would put before him......although he was a great pitcher and deserving HOF'er.

    Sorry, it's Manny.

    Colavito was outstanding in his 5+ seasons in Cleveland but...

    Manny had 165 RBI in 1999 - the only player entry in the top 20 RBI list since *1937* (to be fair, Juan Gone, Sammy Sosa 2x, and A-Rod are in the 21-30 range). The following season he hit .351. The numbers he put up, even in the 'roid era, were ridiculous.

    And I can't stand the guy.
