The Cleveland Bearcats were an American professional Minor League Baseball team that played in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1914 and 1915 as members of the American Association. They shared League Park with the American League's Cleveland Naps. After the 1913 season, Charles Somers, owner of the Toledo Mud Hens and Cleveland Naps, relocated the Toledo team to Cleveland. The team played the 1914 season as the Cleveland Bearcats but became the Cleveland Spiders in 1915. The team moved back to Toledo in 1916.{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/team.cgi?city=Cleveland&state=OH&country=US|title=Cleveland, Ohio Encyclopedia|work=Baseball-Reference|publisher=Sports Reference|accessdate=October 15, 2019}}{{cite web|url=http://www.milb.com//documents/4/3/8/306538438/2019_MHGuide_Historical_Section_2145_.pdf|title=2019 Toledo Mud Hens Media Guide|work=Toledo Mud Hens|publisher=Minor League Baseball|page=45|accessdate=October 15, 2019}}
