CLEVELAND, Ohio - Some years the best moment in Cleveland sports could easily be introduced with an old familiar refrain: wait until next year.

Not this time around. Not by a longshot.

There was much to recommend 2016 as one for the ages in Cleveland sports.

So much that the roll call of nominees in the cleveland.com's inaugural Sports Awards"Best Moment" category lasted longer than the Boston Red Sox in last season's playoff matchup against the Indians.

The nominees included a great high school moment, a shot and block that led to the city's first title in 52 years and memorable freeze frames from two other championships that shouldn't go unrecognized.
