The 1940 Cleveland Indians season was a season in American baseball. The team finished second in the American League with a record of 89–65, one game behind the Detroit Tigers. The season is infamous for ten Indian players going to owner Alva Bradley and demanding the removal of manager Ossie Vitt, saying the man's behavior was harming the team. When the news broke, the public sided with Vitt and the Indians were dismissed as "crybabies." The movement has since been named the "Crybaby Mutiny."
