Cleveland Pennant

Yesterday four Cleveland pitchers (none named Grover or Reggie) combined on a 6 hit shutout, at Toronto, vs the Blue Jays, in a (3-0) win, manifesting in the team’s 6th pennant.

(2-3) in previous World Series, the Cleveland team will open a World Series at home for the first time in history, a scant 11 days after opening a series as late as an LCS, at home, for the first time.

Truly amazing, is that on the night of the World Series opener, the basketball Cleveland Cavaliers will open defense of their NBA title. They ended a nearly 52 year title drought in Cleveland, and will receive honors the same night, a bit over a third of a year later.

Simultaneously, Cleveland will begin a best of seven World Series, hoping to end a drought that has lasted 68 years and included 3 World Series losses, since last winning it all in 1948.
