1995 Cleveland Indians

The first team that I created while joining in on the fun is a childhood favorite for me the 1995 Cleveland Indians. The team made it through the regular season finishing first in the AL Central 100-44. Some impressive offense is seen with the team, Albert Belle is an absolute monster with a 50 HR - 50 double season. followed by Manny Ramirez and Jim Thome finally coming into their own as their careers are just getting started. This Indians team fell short in the World Series to the Atlanta Braves but a fun showdown team with some pop in the offense.

Lineup: Starting with center fielder Kenny Lofton with his 23 speed will provide a good spark when on base and can get a lot of bases with a card in his favor. Vizquel is mainly in the line up for defense but his speed makes him a threat when he finds his way on base as well. Getting batters 1 and 2 on can really start to scare an opposing lineup. Baerga follows and the lineup then becomes dangerous and fun. Belle, Murray, Thome and Ramirez give you potential for some big innings and a high scoring game. The lineup then closes with Paul Sorrento and Tony Pena.
