After he was traded in one of the most infamous deals in Cleveland’s history, the team floundered and “the curse of Rocky Colavito” was born.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Early Wednesday morning, I received this text from Steve Colavito. He wanted me to know what he wrote about his father – Rocky Colavito – who died Tuesday at the age of 91.

Colavito is the only player in Cleveland history to hit four home runs in a game, and he shares the MLB record for highest fielding percentage by an outfielder in a season (1.000).
