Major League attendance was on a sharp rise. Tickets to an Indians game at League Park on Lexington and East 66th were $1.60 for box seats, $1.35 for reserve seats, and $.55 for the bleachers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Scott Longert continues his deep dive into the history of the Cleveland Indians, picking up where \u003ci\u003eNo Money, No Beer, No Pennants\u003c\/i\u003e left off. This particular era—which included the signing and development of Bob Feller as the greatest pitcher in team history—has never received the dedicated treatment that Longert gives it here. This book includes much for fans of the Indians, of baseball, and of Cleveland history to love.”\u003cbr\u003e\"He might not have started out this way, but Scott Longert has quietly become a pre-eminent baseball historian. He is slowly chronicling the Cleveland Indians' rich past through excellent scholarship, bringing to life former eras and the players who helped shape the franchise.“ * The Plain Dealer *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eNo Money, No Beer, No Pennants\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Tribe fans will read it with great enthusiasm and baseball historians will reference it often, as Scott Longert brings much new, important information to the table.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eNo Money, No Beer, No Pennants\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Much has been written about the great Indians players of the 1930s, but not so much on the team itself….
