Search - 1995 Cleveland Indians: The Sleeping Giant Awakes (The SABR Baseball Library)

1995 Cleveland Indians The Sleeping Giant Awakes - The SABR Baseball Library
Author: Joseph Wancho, Rory Costello, Gregory H. Wolf, Kelly Boyer Sagert, Alan Cohen, Clayton Trutor

After almost 40 years of sub-500 baseball, the Sleeping Giant woke in 1995, the first season in the Indians spent in their new home of Jacob's Field. The Indians ruled Cleveland from 1994 through 2001, winning two pennants and making five playoff appearances. In 1995, the Cleveland Browns had left town and were putting down roots in Baltimore. T... more »he Cleveland Cavaliers, while competitive, were usually ousted in the first round of the NBA playoffs. The Indians were the best ticket in town, and 455 consecutive sellouts?from June 12, 1995 through April 2, 2001?are a testament to ther popularity.While the Indians made it to the brink of baseball nirvana in both 1997 and 2016, losing in Game Seven of both those World Series, it is the 1995 team that fans remember the most fondly. Perhaps this is because they were the first to break through since 1954 and make the postseason. Maybe it?s because of the different characters and personalities who made up that team, which included Jim Thome, Bill Ripken, Manny Ramirez, Dave Winfield, Orel Hershiser, and Sandy Alomar Jr.. They had an All-Star seemingly at every position.As you leaf through the pages of this book, presented here by 40 SABR authors and editors, you will be transported back in time to 1995. The biographies of all the players, coaches, and broadcasters will evoke that glorious era once again for Tribe fans. The volume is also sprinkled with personal perspectives, as well as game stores from key matchups during the 1995 season, information about Jacob?s Field, and other writing of interest on the historic season.ContentsIntroduction, Joseph WanchoThe Fans of the 1995 Cleveland Indians, John McMurrayPlayersSandy Alomar Jr., Joseph WanchoRuben Amaro, Rory CostelloPaul Assenmacher, Nick WaddellCarlos Baerga, Joseph WanchoDavid Bell, Philip A.
