Rocco Domenico “Rocky” Colavito, Jr.
B: Aug 10, 1933, New York, NY
The fifth player in American League history to have eleven consecutive 20-home run seasons, Colavito exceeding 40 home runs three times and 100 runs batted in six times, and became the first outfielder in AL history to complete a season with a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage. Once, Rocky showed off his throwing arm by hurling a ball over the center-field wall from home plate. A Cleveland fans’ favorite, handsome and approachable, it broke many Cleveland hearts when he was traded to the Detroit Tigers. Voted by fans the most memorable personality in Indians history, he made the Indians’ All-Century Team and the Cleveland Indians’ Hall of Fame.
