CLEVELAND (AP) – They ran away with their division again, and streaked to history, 102 wins and home-field advantage throughout the AL playoffs. The Cleveland Indians have had a special season.
A new one, the only one, is about to begin.
Heartbroken after coming up a little short last year against the Chicago Cubs, Cleveland figured to make it to October for another swing at ending a World Series drought stretching back to 1948.
The Indians are back, but there’s now a 6-foot-7, 280-pound baseball-bashing behemoth standing in their way.
Behold Aaron Judge.
