The 1968 Indians were a good team. You read that right, in a decade that saw the Indians needing to go on stretches where they’d win 25 out of 30 just to finish the season at .500, the 1968 iteration of the team was actually quite good. They weren’t great, it’s hard to say any team that finishes 16.5 games out of first place is, but they were good. Led by a dominant pitching staff in a year where pitchers ruled baseball, the Indians finished the ‘68 season at a respectable 86-75 mark, good for third place in the American League.
