CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Indians are going to the World Series for the first time in nearly 20 years and eager fans have been lining up to purchase new Tribe merchandise ever since Carlos Santana recorded the final out in Toronto.
Because, AS we all know, it's not official unless it's on t-shirt.
Stores like Dick's Sporting Goods opened at 6 a.m. Thursday to meet demand. Fans have been gobbling up Fall Classic gear on MLB.com and local apparel companies' web sites too.
Retailers are constantly replenishing their stock and releasing new designs. Expect even more new stuff once the the Cubs or Dodgers win the NLCS and join the Indians in the World Series.
