CLEVELAND — One win away from their first World Series title in 68 years, it's taken the Cleveland Indians far more than 68 moves to build this dream of a team.
And yet, two bold statements stand out above all the rest.
The first was hiring manager Terry Francona back on Oct. 6, 2012.
The second was acquiring relief ace Andrew Miller from the New York Yankees on July 31.
This, of course, is not meant to minimize the importance of Jason Kipnis, the heartbeat of the Indians. Or Mike Napoli, the spiritual guru of the club.
