In 1995, the Cleveland Browns had left town and were putting down roots in Baltimore. The 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction, Joseph Wancho\u003cbr\u003eThe Fans of the 1995 Cleveland Indians, John McMurray\u003cbr\u003ePlayers\u003cbr\u003eSandy Alomar Jr., Joseph Wancho\u003cbr\u003eRuben Amaro, Rory Costello\u003cbr\u003ePaul Assenmacher, Nick Waddell\u003cbr\u003eCarlos Baerga, Joseph Wancho\u003cbr\u003eDavid Bell, Philip A.
