Cleveland Indians Merchandise | Boston Red Sox

Isn’t it a coincidence that the two best teams in major league baseball (in terms of records) during the regular season played each other in the second round of the playoffs which was for the American League Pennant. At first a 3-1 lead seemed to be insurmountable for the Boston Red Sox and too close for a series clinching victory for the Cleveland Indians. A lot of the country that the tribe had the series in the bag when they won their third straight game and taking one in Boston’s house before heading back to Cleveland for the middle three games. You would have thought that Cleveland would have won the fourth and last game in the ALCS. Guess again! Boston stole the momentum and eventually the pennant in seven games. The Cleveland Indian’s merchandise has been selling good especially during the later months of this baseball season. The Indians would not have been one of the teams the experts would have picked to most likely win 96 games because there are a few other teams who appear to be more qualified of such an honor. Anyways the city of Cleveland has been plagued with bad luck as with the Chicago Cubs over the past 99 years. Cleveland hasn’t won a national title in any major sport since sometime around 1960 if I remember correctly. That would seem like a thought to me. It seems as if Cleveland chokes in big games instead of rising to the occasion like other big named teams have done. Anyways I think the drought is destined to be over sometime within the next half century because I think by then a Cleveland franchise will finally overcome any and all obstacles to achieve something that a lot of their citizens can’t say they have done and that is celebrate with their national championship team.
