    #16 - The Dynasty that Almost Was

    S3:E6

    The 1990s Indians inspired great pride, but also great pain. They were quite a team for a time but not quite the team of their time. They were fearless, flamboyant, fantastic -- six division titles in seven years, two American League pennants, a then-record 455 straight sellouts. In a beautiful new ballpark, in a city longing for sporting success with the Browns having bounced for Baltimore, those Indians teams won hearts ... but no World Series titles. The film is narrated by Corbin Bernsen -- star of the movie "Major League," which until the 1990s Indians came along was, sadly, as close as the franchise had gotten to the postseason for many decades. And just as you didn't have to be a Cleveland fan to appreciate "Major League," you don't have to be one to appreciate this compelling look at a team that came up short in the World Series, but not in the realm of entertainment and intrigue.
