Cleveland Indians have Terry Talkin' deep front office roots in playoffs -- Terry Pluto

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- It was about 24 hours before Mark Shapiro's Toronto Blue Jays were set to open the 2016 American League Championship Series against the Cleveland Indians.

It was a matchup Shapiro desperately wanted.

After the Blue Jays swept Texas to reach the ALCS, Shapiro sent Tribe president Chris Antonetti a two-word text: "Your turn."

It was the eve of Game 3 of the Cleveland/Boston Red Sox series, which was won by the Tribe.

After 24 years with the Indians, it feels strange for Shapiro to be in the ballpark that he loves so much -- but with another team.
