    Cleveland Indians Game 5 World Series watch party shakes ...
    CLEVELAND, Ohio – On the most exciting night of his life, Paul Hershberger III took a nap. At Progressive Field, with about 25,000 raucous Tribe fans roaring, young Paul might have been the only one sleeping through history Sunday night. Babies have a habit of doing that. "Why not bring him?'' his father, Paul, said. The 1-month-old boy, bundled in blankets and wearing large blue headphones for ear protection, joined his sisters, Abby, 5, and Ellie, 3, for a chance to see the Indians win the ..

    Cleveland Indians fans rally together for World Series at historic bars ...
    CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Andrew Revy beamed at the TV over the bar with a strange confidence as the Indians sought to end Cleveland's four-month championship drought. The Indians fan wasn't alone at Hoopples – which made it all the more strange. The Cleveland bar known for cheap beers and old-school vibes was packed with Indians fans, yelling, cheering and, yes, drinking, as baseball's scrappy underdogs edged closer to delivering a second major league sports title in one season. They shouted 'Tribe!..

    How the Browns were crushed by Todd Bowles' big halftime ...
    CLEVELAND, Ohio - The biggest halftime adjustment the Jets made en route to their 31-28 victory over the winless Browns was their attitude. It came after a tongue-lashing by coach Todd Bowles, the former Browns assistant. And it worked like a charm. The Jets, who trailed 20-7 at the half, scored 24 straight points in the second half and held the Browns to one TD in garbage time. "There's no big speech to be made,'' said Bowles. "You've got to have a (bleeping) attitude when you're getting your..

    CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Ten Budweiser Clydesdales arrived in town during the World Series. Does this mean Anheuser-Busch is predicting the Cleveland Indians will beat the Chicago Cubs? Are they preparing for a parade? Well, no and yes.  "Our team is ready for the parade," said Dave Thomas, a supervisor traveling with the draft horses and their handlers. However, they have the exact same set-up in Chicago, according to Thomas. That is, another team of ten Budweiser Clydesdales is stationed there, "a..

    Cleveland Indians also a winner in World Series Game 4 TV ratings
    CLEVELAND, Ohio — Saturday is always the least-watched night of the week in network television, but that did not stop Game 4 of the World Series from delivering top TV ratings. The Cleveland Indians' 7-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field brought the best Saturday-night Series rating since 2009 (Yankees-Phillies), according to overnight figures from Nielsen. The national 10.5 rating and 19 percent share of audience put Fox in first place for the night with at least triple the viewe..

    Cleveland Indians' Terry Francona answers late-night craving with ...
    CHICAGO – The postseason can be tough on players -- late nights, long games, pressurized at-bats and pitches. It can be tough on managers as well, but for different reasons. Take manager Terry Francona for instance. After the Indians beat the Cubs in Game 4 of the World Series on Saturday night at Wrigley Field, he went out to dinner with his daughter, but didn't really eat that much. So at 3:30 a.m., back at the team hotel, Francona got hungry. "I just had snacks so when I got back to the h..

    If the Indians are to pop champagne again in 2016, they'll do so from ...
    CHICAGO -- The last century of Cleveland sports has produced only a handful of major professional championships. Only the 1920 Indians and the 1964 Browns secured the title with Lake Erie nearby. And in a year in which Cleveland sports have morphed from sorry to spectacular -- the Browns and their unrelenting futility aside -- it would be appropriate for the Indians to cap 2016 with an in-town celebration for the ages. Of course, they still have to win a game to make that longstanding dream a ..

    Week 10 AP college football poll: Bill Landis ballot
    COLUMBUS, Ohio -- There really aren't 25 teams worth ranking for the Associated Press college football poll. I started struggling around No. 10. There's a large group of teams that are just kind of blah. You could really mix and match them any way you see fit and not be wrong. So I focused mostly on the top, and with the first College Football Playoff rankings coming out this Tuesday, I tried to predict what the top of that list will look like after nine weeks of games. Some thoughts before my..

    Cleveland Indians superfans live the fantasy World Series ...
    CHICAGO -- They met at Cleveland Indians Fantasy Camp in 2003.  John Wilson and Bob Senkar, two middle-aged guys pretending for a week to be pro baseball players. Two guys who dreamed that one day their team – the real one, not the wannabes taking a week off work for fun in the sun – would win it all. And then came this fantasy season that seems like it was planned and produced just for fans of the Indians, for fans of Cleveland. Just for fans like Wilson, 54 and Senkar, 58. "They are a te..
