Found it.
I got rid of my VHS player though.
Looks like I'll have to take it in and have it copied on to a disc.
Runniing time is 65 minutes.

I was just reading the back of the jacket.

The 1995 team hit .291 as a team and led the league in runs scored, hits, and stolen bases.

The had eight .300 hitters in their lineup.

Albert Belle became the first player to hit 50 home runs and 50 doiubles.

This was a team that won 100 games and lost just 44 and won its division by 30 games - the largest first-place margin in history.

Jose Mesa 38 consecutive saves.

Eddie Murray 3,000th hit.

Record attendance 2,842,725.

They rocked Boston in the Division Series.

They rolled over the red-hot Seattle Mariners in the League Championship Series.

They battled the Atlanta Braves for six nail-bitng games in the World Series.

Interviews with key players.

Behind the scenes stories.

In 1995 Cleveland rocked and the Tribe rolled!

Now! I am pumped for another exciting season :)

They have a nice offense Seagull. Mazara, Odor, and Andrus just took it to our pitching staff. I cringed every time they stepped to the plate.They'll be even better when Beltre returns. They definitely need some bullpen help. The bullpen cost them the series. But, credit where credit is due......our guys never quit.

Anybody see anything fun on TV tonight?

What about Modern Family. Was it a rerun?

:lol:

What a fun night. Cavs flipped the switch and handed the Celtics' ass to them on their home court, and a great come from behind win by Tribe!

Joe Thomas may be onto something. 150 wins may be a little light?

We may never lose again!!!

Poor Texas closer, has an ERA of 72.00 after his first two outings.

And as for the importance of Spring Training, Brian Shaw was a total disaster in Arizona and in mid-season form in Texas.

Funny, when spring training was ending Tito was asked if he and the guys were glad and he said something to the effect that it was more important for some guys than others, but guys like Bryan Shaw was probably thrilled it was over.

A 3 game sweep to open the season, first time since 1952.
2 great come-from-behind victories.
An amazing grand slam by Lindor.

And people are worried about facial expressions??

I'm telling you it is contract negotiations that have robbed us of Frankie's smile.

Frankie was ticked off after his error that cost us the lead. Absolutely no smiles after that. He was fuming.

LARRY: But Cleveland had not swept a season-opening series of three or more games since 1952

Heard on Fox8 at lunch that Tribe won an opening series in 1998. But, if we go 162-0 I will not complain.

Just repeating what I heard and read. Maybe they were wrong.

J.R. Was right, cause he said first sweep of an opening series of "3 or more games" since 1952.

The 1998 Indians swept the Mariners to start the season, but it was only two games.

The '98 Tribe went on to sweep the next 3 game series and won the first game of next series to start 6-0.

The 1968 team that was mentioned actually lost 2 out of their first 3.
