The 1995 Cleveland Indians were (100-44) during a shortened season. That 95' season started a special run in Cleveland. You have to remember, the Indians were so bad for over 30+ years...i mean shite, they made a movie about them lol. But since then, the Tribe has been a consistent winner. From 95'-01', the Indians were a juggernaut, winning the AL Central every year. Kenny Lofton will forever be my all time favorite Indians player. Ill never forget him stealing from 2nd base to score on a pass ball. Guy was so fun to watch.

Here is a fast fact for you, did you know since Terry Francona has been the manager of the Indians, they are the winningest franchise in baseball?

I didn’t know that, but it doesn’t surprise me. Francona is such a great manager, but is kinda taken for granted at this point. I think he’s the best manager in baseball in last 20 years. Him or Bochy. Both should make the Hall pretty easily imo.

And those 90s Indian teams were really fun to watch. I saw his pic, but nobody has mentioned Carlos Baerga yet. That dude could rake from both sides of the plate in his prime. It seemed to just be a 4-5 years, though, as he fell off a cliff. Had to look it up, but Robbie Alomar didn’t get to Cleveland until ‘99 and only played 3 seasons there. It seems like he was there longer.

Cards could've had him after TLR retired, but instead chose Matheny.
