Great weekend! Indians, Browns, Buckeyes!
O-H-I-O is back....for now.
Indians finished with 92 wins. Detroit with 93, and ends it in a bad way, no hitter for Marlins. Who would of thought at the beginning of te season Cleveland ends 1 game back of Cleveland.
One more Indians, one more!
You mean Detroit?
Yeah, but it would be awesome to have 2 Cleveland teams. Doubles our chances of winning it all!
Hey, we could always revive the Cleveland Spiders and their "awesomeness" oh wait, the Cleveland Indians were those silly Cleveland Spiders.
Huge congrats to the Tigers and Indians, I will be rooting for both teams in the playoffs...
Seriously, I will...
The Injuns were the Naps, I believe. After Napoleon Lajoie. The Spiders were in The NL, I think. Had some big awesome guy that was an Indian.
I am pretty sure that Indian is why the Indians are well.. the Indians. The NL actually kicked the Spiders out as they couldn't bring any dough... they couldn't even pay visiting teams hotel bills, or their own for that matter.
Now I've found info that says Cleveland's AL franchise originated in Grand Rapids, as the Rustlers in 1894!?! (Western League). Whatever their origin may be, I'm pretty sure that Indian lead to the Indians. (Lake Shores, BlueBirds, Naps.... Indians)
That's is pretty funny to think that a team was actually kicked out of a league, not contracted, simply kicked out for being so shitty.
Just when I was starting to get comfortable with these wiki articles... bastards got my hopes up for them.
I am pretty sure when the Spiders got kicked out of the NL, they went to the western league ( You probably know it as the AL now)
The Indians were once..... The Broncos...... Shit.
