ALEX COLE MADE A FAST IMPRESSION AS A ROOKIE
Alex Cole’s rookie season in 1990 seemed to be an indication of greatness to come. Instead, it proved to be the high-water mark of a seven-year MLB career.
When the 24-year-old center fielder broke into Cleveland’s lineup during the summer of 1990, he went 0-for-4. But in the second game of that July 27 doubleheader, he went 3-for-4 and stole a base.
Cole’s speed made an impact in game after game over the next few months. He stole five bases in a game on Aug. 1, scored four runs in a three-hit game
