CLEVELAND, Ohio – The raising of the first championship banner in 52 years is now an opening act for the close pursuit of a second?
Of course it is.
Who didn't see that coming?
If you predicted the scene that will unfold at The Q and at Progressive Field Tuesday night in the most remarkable development in Cleveland sports history, you probably also predicted:
• LeBron James going all in with the Indians to the point you no longer care if underneath he's wearing pin-striped boxers.
• Thirty-seven-year-old Coco Crisp homering in the game that clinched the division, the game that clinched the ALDS and the game that clinched the ALCS.
