CLEVELAND -- Mike Napoli's only season in Cleveland was a memorable one.
Napoli, now playing for the Texas Rangers, made his first appearance at Progressive Field since helping the Indians reach the World Series last season. The veteran first baseman/DH was presented with his American League Championship ring before Monday night's game by Indians manager Terry Francona.
"It was a special year and it'll be something I can hopefully tell my kids someday about," Napoli said. "It's something I'll never forget."
Napoli not only produced on the field -- hitting 34 homers with 101 RBI -- he developed a strong fan following.
