CLEVELAND, Ohio - From Cy Young, Nap Lajoie and Tris Speaker, through Bob Feller, Jesse Owens, Paul and Jim Brown, racial progressivism and championship droughts, to LeBron James and winning a championship in 2016, Cleveland's sports history is rich and varied, filled with highs and lows.
The Miracle of Richfield, which occurred in the mid-1970s, ranks with the most iconic periods in the 47-year history of the Cavaliers. And Jordan's dagger of May 7, 1989, ended a best-of-five playoff series at the Richfield Coliseum, a series no one figured the Bulls would ever win.
