The 1990s have become the golden era of Cleveland Indians baseball. Beginning with their 1994 move to Jacobs Field, a transformation has occurred that finds the Indians one of baseball's premier franchises. With five straight division titles, two World Series appearances and four seasons of consecutive sellouts, "The Tribe" is the toast of Ohio.
It is perhaps the most dramatic turnaround in major league history. For much of the more than three decades prior to 1994, the Indians were a bottom-dwelling franchise, both on the field and at the gate. But in the mid- to late '90s, the Indians enjoyed four seasons of consecutive sellouts and Indians baseball remains the hottest ticket in town. Although the expectation level has risen for Tribe fans -- they no longer accept just "making it" to the playoffs -- their optimism, patience and enthusiasm remain intact. And with little or no serious competition in the American League Central, the fans know the Tribe will likely get another shot in 2000 at their first World Series title in more than 50 years.
