Any time the Cleveland Guardians/Indians make the baseball playoffs the best radio announcer in the game, Tom Hamilton, yells, “Cleveland, you will have an October to remember.” It’s a rite that has not in any way been diminished with time. It means, excitement, shredded nerves, and that desperate hope that this is the time it all breaks right.
