Indians honor AL pennant-winning 1995 team (The Associated Press)

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Twenty years later, the 1995 Cleveland Indians are regarded as one of the most memorable teams in franchise history - even if they fell short of delivering a World Series title.

Several members of that American League pennant-winning team, including Jim Thome, Kenny Lofton and manager Mike Hargrove, were in town Friday to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the achievement. The Indians beat Boston and Seattle in the AL playoffs before losing the World Series to Atlanta in six games.

The Indians thrilled fans with comeback wins on what seemed to be a daily basis and captured the franchise's first pennant since 1954.
