As a 70 year-old lifelong Cleveland Indians fan, I have been to two World Series games. The first one was game 4 of the 1995 series against Atlanta you discuss in your article. With the Indians trailing two games to one, I knew the series was over when Dave Justice’s single in the seventh brought in two runs to give the Braves a 4-1 lead in the game.
The second one was last Tuesday’s game 6 against the Cubs, with the Indians up three games to two. Here too I knew the series was over when in the first inning Tyler Naquin and Lonnie Chisenhall did the old Alphonse-Gaston routine to allow two runs to score on a two-out routine fly ball to right-center – giving the Cubs a 3-0 lead in the game.
Very tough on this old Cleveland boy!
