Major League Baseball team season
The
1969
Cleveland Indians
season
was a season in American baseball. The club finished in last place in the newly established
American League East
with a record of 62 wins and 99 losses. The 1969 season seemed hopeful before the season started, based on the Indians' modest 86?75 record the previous season, along with their solid pitching. However, a 1?15 start shattered any illusions of a successful season. Not helping, was that the Indians strong pitching the previous season fell apart. Luis Tiant fell to 9?20 in 1969 and didn't look like the same pitcher from 1968, when he went 21?9, with a 1.60 ERA. Sam McDowell stayed solid at the very least, going 18?14, with a 2.94 ERA.
