#1 Cleveland Indians in the World Series

Post by Commander »

First a sweep against the Boston Red Sox to go to the ALCS, next winning three games against Toronto while all the talking heads of baseball didn't think the Indians would win more than the first. Finishing up the ALCS on the fifth game. All of this with injuries which is why most said they wouldn't do it.

One of the local sportcasters said that if they took a script of the trails and tribulations the Indians have been through the last part of this season and into the post season, the Hollywood heads wouldn't use it because it was so preposterous.

Imagine, for one...
Cleveland Indians star pitcher Trevor Bauer was forced to leave Monday night's playoff game against the Toronto Blue Jays after blood began pouring from his pinky.
Bauer could not wear a Band-Aid over his wound, since they are prohibited by Major League Baseball rules. In addition, the ball cannot be colored with a foreign substance — including blood. So after 21 pitches in Game 3 of the playoffs, he was forced to call it quits after his stitches opened, and blood poured onto the ground and his uniform.

Four days before the game, Bauer's finger was cut by the blade of a drone, a longtime hobby of his. The baseball star is obsessed with drones and according to experts, was lucky he did not lose his finger in the accident.

That it was. When the Rangers or the Dodgers are not in the WS, I tend to root for the team who has not won in the longest period. This one was really tough as there was a mere 40 years difference between the two. If the Rangers and Dodgers ever face off, I might just go schizo.....
