The meteoric rise of Jaret Wright to the Major Leagues in 1997 is one of the Tribe’s best all-time stories. Jaret opened the season in Akron (Class AA) and was pro- moted to Buffalo (Class AAA) in May. Just 21 years old, he made his Indians debut the following month and went on to compile an 8-3 record in helping his team capture the Division crown. As the youngest pitcher ever to start an AL Division Series game, Jaret thrilled Tribe fans by beating the Yan- kees twice, including the fifth and deciding game. A Game 4 winner in the , he became the second-youngest pitcher ever to start a game 7. In 1998, his first full season in the majors, Jaret won 12 games while pitching a career-high 192.2 innings. Un- fortunately shoulder problems landed him on the disabled list twice in 1999, and twice again in 2000, leading to sea- son-ending surgery. Determined to work his way back to good health, Ja- ret pitched both as a starter and in relief. As a member of the Braves 2004 rotation, he won 15 games and struck out 159, both career-bests.

The Cleveland Indians connection and commitment to our neighbors reaches far beyond the walls of Pro- gressive Field; it extends to the hearts and homes of the many people that support our team. Whether on the field or off the field, the Indians work rigorously to improve the quality of life and share the love of baseball with our com- munity. Through the Indians’ charitable arm, Cleveland Indians Charities (CIC), the Indians are able to support the Community Impact Department’s mission to make a positive impact on our fans, especially the young fans, of Northeast Ohio. Established in 1989, CIC is a self-sustaining charitable organization that concentrates on creative partner- ships with select organizations that focus on youth education and recreation. Since its inception, CIC has donated more than $10 million to youth-oriented agencies and organizations throughout Northeast Ohio. CIC has enhanced its relationship and focus with several organizations, including the Cleveland Metropoli- tan School District, the Cleveland Baseball Federation (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) and Rookie League programs), the Boys & Girls Clubs of Cleveland, and the Diamond Improvement Grant Program. By donating funds raised, CIC provides the opportunity to jointly create and execute educational and recrea- tional opportunities for area youth. These programs help young people learn to play the game of baseball, develop necessary life skills, learn responsibility, and develop confidence to face today’s hurdles. The Cleveland Indians embrace the responsibility to act as a civic leader and “good corporate citizen.” As a natural role-model, ballplayers and ball clubs have the responsibility to create, maintain, and build positive relation- ships throughout its community. CIC provides the opportunity to fulfill this responsibility, which improves the qual- ity of life for all, and gives our fans the opportunity to connect with the organization, the players, and . This creates an emotional bond between the Indians and Northeast Ohio, inspiring the local community to partake in Indians fundraising events, which then gets regenerated back into the community. This Community Im- pact circle touches the lives of nearly 15,000 under-served children and thousands of Indians fans each year. Page 7 THE HEROES AND LEGENDS ^ Inducted into the CLEVELAND INDIANS HALL OF FAME

The Cleveland Indians Hall of Fame was established in 1951 to recognize those players who achieved greatness in a Cleveland uniform. Selected by a committee consisting of baseball historians, writ- ers, broadcasters and executives, inductees must have been active at least three seasons for Cleveland and be retired at least one year. In 2009, the Distinguished Hall of Fame was established to honor non-uniformed personnel whose contributions made a significant impact on the fortunes of the franchise.

As part of the 2001 season-long 100th Anniversary Celebration, a panel of baseball writers, historians, and executives selected a roster of the Top 100 Greatest Indians. Included on this roster are players whose sheer presence, ability, achievements, and in some cases, simply their intrinsic popularity established them as being special. Since 1901, more than 1,800 players have graced the diamonds of , Cleveland Municipal Stadium, Ja- cobs Field, and now Progressive Field. It is through the men on the Top 100 Greatest Indians roster, and the 1,700- plus who were their teammates, that the rich heritage of in Cleveland was established. On the magical afternoon of July 21, 2001, 38 of the Top 100 Greatest Indians gathered to be honored, and to celebrate the Cleveland Indians 100th Anniversary along with a sellout crowd of fans, family, and friends. We congratulate, salute, and offer thanks to each of these men, and are thrilled and honored to welcome eight of these distinguished players as 2016 Cleveland Indians Fantasy Camp Pros.
