MLB ALCS: Are the Indians Baseball’s Big Story this Year?
Writing by Igor Ivanov on Friday, 19 of October , 2007 at 11:35 am
Cleveland rocks. The Indians have all the earmarks of a well-run franchise from top to bottom. But they won’t erase the memory of the worst season for Major League Baseball since the 1994 strike.
This was the year Barry Bonds hit home run No. 756, breaking Hank Aaron’s career record. It was met with muted enthusiasm at best. Bonds was never the fan favorite, but once he became the center of the league’s ongoing steroid controversy, MLB officials distanced themselves from Bonds as if he were made of cancer.
Next month, George Mitchell is expected to release the results of his investigation into steroid use in baseball. Names could be named. If the use of performance enhancers is as widespread as anecdotal evidence suggests, some of those names will be from the Indians.
No matter who’s side you are on, this report is already the overwhelming baseball story of the year. And it’s only going to get bigger.
