In Cleveland, getting Harvey Kuenn (1959 batting title) for Rocky Colavito (1959 HR title) was (still is for some) viewed more or less as the end of the world. Kuenn was booed (as if it was he that made the trade), but he had a typical good Kuenn year, batting .308 with 54 RBIs before the Indians unloaded him to the Giants in 1961.
