Some of the Tribe rested, but a good portion of them went to the All-Star game. But once the second half started, there was no drop off as they swept the A’s in four games, and impressed a Hall of Famer. Also, a brief look at the home/road splits.
The Indians had been the most dominant team in the first half, so it was no surprise that they had six players on the AL All-Star team. Unless you were like me, a longtime fan who was used to seeing a single representative who rarely appeared in the game.
