"We've just got to win the game tomorrow," Indians right fielder Lonnie Chisenhall said. "If we leave winners, people will remember that."
Indians fans have plenty of bad memories from World Series past. There was Jose Mesa's blown save in the 1997 Fall Classic against the Marlins. David Justice and Tom Glavine broke Cleveland's hearts in the '95 World Series. Fans of a certain age may also be cursing Willie Mays' name for his over-the-shoulder catch that became the defining moment in the Giants' 1954 triumph over the Tribe.
Naquin's part in the Game 6 loss will become a footnote, not a source of torment, if the Indians can beat the Cubs in the win-or-go-home contest that is on deck.
