The Cleveland Indians baseball team has been around since 1905. There was a Cleveland baseball team before that, and there will be one in the future. It just won't be the Indians.
Since I was born and raised in Cleveland following the Indians, and my father was born and raised in Cleveland following the Indians, it might be time to take stock on the franchises major accomplishments.
I would be happy if somebody wanted to start a thread for All-Time Indians team, or your favorite game. Half of the attraction of baseball is the history.
So here we go: Biggest Moments in Cleveland Indians History.
(Not that I was even alive for some of these.)
1. 1948 World Champions - The post-war celebration
2. 1920 World Champions - Speaker, Chapman, triple play in World Series
3.1995 AL Champions - out of decades of misery. 100-44
4. 1947 - Indians add Larry Doby. Three months after Jackie Robinson, but no movies about him.
5. 2016 AL Champions - Bittersweet, but with more plusses than minuses.
What are other big moments you think are important?
