Cleveland Pipers Crewneck Sweatshirt
Cleveland Pipers Crewneck Sweatshirt
The Cleveland Pipers, based in Cleveland, Ohio, won the last National Industrial Basketball League title in 1960-61 with a 24-10 record. They then won the American Basketball League championship in 1961-62, beating the Kansas City Steers 3-2 in the finals. John McLendon coached them, and George Steinbrenner owned them.
The Pipers had no single home. They played at Cleveland Arena, Public Hall and several local gyms. In May 1962 Steinbrenner signed Jerry Lucas, who never played an ABL game, hoping to force a move into the top league. The plan fell through over unpaid fees, and the Pipers folded with the ABL on December 31, 1962.
