CLEVELAND, Ohio - The momentum that the Indians have built over the last four years has made an impression. Not only in the won-loss column, but at the highest levels of Major League Baseball.
It is one of the reasons the franchise has been awarded the 2019 All-Star Game. The team is expected to hold a press conference announcing the arrival of the Midsummer Classic on Friday.
Cleveland and the All-Star Game is a good fit.
The Indians have posted four straight winning seasons, culminating in last year's AL pennant and run to the seventh game of the World Series before losing to the Cubs in 10 innings.
