- The story of the 1998 Central Division Champion Cleveland Indians. Narrated by Tom Hamilton and featuring John Hart, Mike Hargrove, and many favorite Indians players.
**Up until recently, I've been downloading my personal VHS collection. However, the collection is obviously limited. I started a Patreon page to better find and purchase old VHS videos on EBAY and other websites, as well as at garage sales and other locations that might have VHS available, so I can upload them for all to see and share for free.

Since the inauguration of beautiful Jacobs Field, each season has added an unpredictable and unique chapter to the continuing success story that is the Cleveland Indians...and 1998 was no different.
From the wire-to-wire performance that saw the Indians capture their fourth straight American League Central Division Championship and third appearance in the last four years of the American League Championship Series, to the sparkling Gold Glove acrobatics of Omar Vizquel, and remarkable home run binge of Manny Ramirez, Tribe fans can relive these and other exciting moments on this action-packed video narrated by Indians radio voice Tom Hamilton.
Jacobs Field's unprecedented sellout streak reached 292 at regular season's end, as baseball's best fans (the Tribe's 10th Man) packed the baseball-only jewel to the tune of a record 3.4 million in attendance. Watch the Indians clinch the AL Central on September 16th as Charles Nagy wins #14 with the help of HRs by Manny Ramirez, Jim Thome, and Richie Sexson. Relive the exciting and exhausting moments of the 1998 postseason, including the on-field fireworks at the start of Game 2 of the AL Division Series vs. the Boston Red Sox and the Indians attempt to derail the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series.
It's all on this action-packed video. Relive your favorite moments of the 1998 season and witness the behind-the-scenes stories of a team that has captured the hearts of the world's best fans.
Jim Thome was such a beast
OMAR VIZQUEL INCREIBLE DEFENSIVA
This was an odd year for the Indians - their record was a "meh" 89-73 but they were on cruise control all season with no competition in the AL Central. If they had needed to they probably would have won 100+ games as talented as they were. And even with the 25-win gap no one was surprised that they gave the 114-win Yankees a tough series.
Most over looked: Vizquel especially the Vizquel R. Alomar duo: poetry in motion! When did Vizquel hit the game winning grand slam?
Think that might’ve been 2001?
Robbie Alomar players on the Indians for 3 seasons (99-01), and Vizquel hit a game winning grand slam in 1999. I was at that game
Great 90s teams . Should have beaten the marlins in 1997.
Shoulda beat Chicago too in 16💔💔💔💔 .. still tribe for life !
1997 pissed me off really badly. The Marlins were an absolute disgrace to the game, buying a championship then selling it off because asshole Huzienga couldn’t afford it all of a sudden.FUCK HIM.
Thanks for the memories .
Kind of like the 1990s Version of the 1986 Mets except without a World Series Title won. The 1995 to 1998 Indians in my humble opinion were one of the Most Powerful, Stacked and Dangerous MLB Teams in history that never won a World Series. That Team should have been back to back year World Series Winners.
i have so many games from the 98 season i wish i had the opening day game at Seattle wild game
Do you plan on uploading anything?
i intend to mate
very nice ill be looking forward to your uploads
Love these videos! Do you have anything from the 2001 Indians Mariners playoff series by chance??
11:45 awesome speech
In the 1997 yearbook, John Hart talks about signing Grissm and Justice to long term deals. Locking them up. How did Grissom end up in Milwaukee? And Lofton returned?
Where can i find that any idea?
@@aaronwood330 CZcams: 1997 Cleveland Indians. It’s the first video that says SOCK-SESS story.
@@nostalgiaman6816 ok i found that one & have it on my playlist thanks
@@aaronwood330 no problem
Kenny Lofton was a free agent after 1997, and he wanted to resign with Cleveland. To make room, they traded Grissom to Milwaukee for some relief pitchers
What happened to the video on the 99 indians?
I was going to share this video, but the advertisement at the beginning made it "unsharable".
It was the steroids era but I never heard any accusations about the Indians.
I believe it because every time I ask one of the club or Plain Dealer journalists, I never got an answer. Did you know that the 1999 Tribe was the last team to score over 1,000 runs (and it was the first time in 50 years)?
@@nannerthepuss Ramirez definitely did in Boston. I dont think he juiced here in Cleveland tho.
@@nannerthepuss I know Belle had a corked bat in 1994! lol
ramirez is known for steroids in boston
Thank you for sharing this video! Excellent, the true tribe, when bullshit offensive chief whaoo didn’t exist!
Being a Tribe fan in the 90’s was awesome but they should have won a World Series.
Yes, John Hart and his team made some great moves. But how the f did they not win like 3 or 4????
The 95 Tribe had 8 .300 hitters. 8!!!!! You will never see an MLB team like that ever.
After 95 they made some seriously bone headed moves….
-Didn’t resign Ken Hill (96 Cy Young 6th)
-Traded Eddie Murray and pissed off everyone on the team for Kent Merker a left handed pitcher that they didn’t resign that went on to play for 10-11 years as a solid middle to back end reliever.
-Traded away future HOF’r Jeff Kent
-Traded away Marquis Grissom in one of the worst trades in MLB history
-Traded future all star Sean Casey for Dave Burba
-This list will be completed at a later date…. Trust me is goes on and on
Lack of pitching depth can do that. Not to mention Mesa isn't exactly a big game performer.
Please edit out those OBNOXIOUS commercial advertisements which waste the first minute and a half of your video. Thank You.
