1995 American League Champions

After decades of dormancy, Cleveland was awakened as the Indians steamrolled to an A.L. Central Division title, their first title in 41 years. Their 100-44 record allowed them to win the division by a Major League Baseball record 30 games. Thrilling victories defined 1995, including Tony Pena’s 13th-inning home run at 2 a.m. for a 5-4 win in American League Division Series Game One and Kenny Lofton scoring from second on a passed ball in the American League Championship Series to send the Indians to their first World Series since 1954. Although the Indians fell to the Braves 4-2 in the World Series, the season was a magical year and the start of a new era.
