We already discussed the early end to the baseball season 100 years ago.
Today let’s discuss one that hurts a lot more, (perhaps because none of us lived through the 1918 one), the 1994 season.
A team on the verge of something big
In 1993 the Cleveland Indians finished 76-86, good for sixth place in the AL East. There were signs, however, that things were improving.
Left fielder Albert Belle hit 38 home runs and led the league in RBI (129). Belle finished seventh in MVP voting. Center fielder Kenny Lofton finished 15th in the MVP race, and first in stolen bases with 70.
