On November 6, 1995, Art Modell stunned the Greater Cleveland community and
Browns fans everywhere that he was moving the team to Baltimore. Shocked and
outraged fans were told simply by Modell that "I had no choice." What had gone
wrong and why?
This volume traces the highlights and travails that went with operating the
aging Cleveland Municipal Stadium, the good and not-so-good decisions of the
Browns' management, and the souring of local attitudes toward the man who at
one time had been hailed as a prime force in the community.
It takes readers behind the scenes so that they can decide for themselves who
was to blame for the loss of the city's football franchise, and what Modell
meant when he said the now infamous, "I had no choice."
Fumble! was the #1 book in Cleveland for six weeks
during fall 1997.
