CLEVELAND -- The end goal was not achieved. After coming one victory short of a World Series triumph a year ago, the Indians envisioned a championship parade up East 9th Street at the conclusion of this campaign. The Tribe fell short of that dream, providing a sour end to what had been a scintillating season.
The Indians' loss to the Yankees in the American League Division Series will always be what defines the 2017 season for the franchise, but there were plenty of accomplishments that should not be forgotton. Cleveland had five All-Stars, cruised to a second consecutive American League Central Division crown, won 102 games and, during one magical run, pieced together an AL-record 22-game winning streak.
