Oscar "Ossie" Vitt, who managed the Indians from 1938-40 was so mean and bullying that the players revolted and went to club owner Alva Bradley to plead their case for a new manager. The team tried to keep this turmoil hush hush but the media picked up on it and labeled them the "Cleveland Crybabies." Vitt hung on to finish the season but he was forced out thereafter, with no one particularly sad to see him go. Not exactly the brightest chapter in Cleveland Baseball history!
