World Series 2016: Cleveland on the verge of its best sports moment — or its worst

CLEVELAND — The Browns won three of their four NFL championships on home turf, celebrating titles at Municipal Stadium in 1950, 1954 and 1964. Cleveland won the World Series at Dunn Field, as old League Park was called then, in 1920.

Of those four glorious memories for the Forest City, only the Browns' first win — in their first year as an NFL team after having dominated the All-America Football Conference to the point that it folded — had any real drama. Lou Groza's field goal with 28 seconds left gave Cleveland the 30-28 win over the Rams, completing a comeback from eight points down in the fourth quarter.
