Is 2016 the year for Cleveland? After years of misery for “The Mistake on the Lake,” things are finally looking up. The city recently captured its first major sports championship in 52 years courtesy of LeBron James’s greatness, the Indians are leading the AL Central, and, oh, by the way, the Browns sent Johnny Manziel packing.
In the afterglow of the Cavaliers’ improbable comeback in the NBA Finals, attention has been stolen away from their neighbors at Progressive Field. The Indians’ record currently stands at 63–47, with a three-game cushion on the second-place Detroit Tigers. And make no mistake, this is no fluke.
