Russell Schneider knows the disappointment all too well. A Plain Dealer sportswriter for 32 years, he covered the Indians daily from 1964 to 1977 and has authored several books about the team, including "The Cleveland Indians Encyclopedia." His newest one, "Whatever Happened to Super Joe'?" (Gray & Co., $14.95) enlightens fans on "45 Good Old Guys from the Bad Old Days" of Indians baseball.
