CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Nick Swisher was three years ahead of his time.
The oft-animated, oft-injured outfielder handed out red T-shirts in the Indians' clubhouse upon arrival to Goodyear, Arizona for spring training in 2014. The tops read "Unfinished Business," a slogan representing the club's hunger after a brief, three-hour postseason cameo (by the league's standards, not Kenny Lofton's) the October prior.
That same theme seems to fit the 2017 Indians to a tee, though maybe not on a T. They participated in 176 games last year (and 30 spring exhibition affairs). They played into the 11th month of the calendar for the first time in the team's 116-year history.
