It's Sunday, October 3, 1993, at Cleveland Stadium. The attendance is 72,390. The Indians played their first game here on July 31, 1932, against the Philadelphia Athletics. This is their last. The White Sox are the opponent, and Cleveland's Mark Lewis is the batter, ready to swing through a 2-2 offering from Jose DeLeon, the final pitch in a 4-0 loss at the venerable ballpark a stone's throw from Lake Erie.
The uniform top on the right represents the road grays worn by the 1948 World Champion Cleveland Indians. The all-blue cap was worn by the 1954 American League Champion Indians. The white top with the Jacobs Field patch connects us to the 1995 American League champs.
It's the Fall of '48 at Cleveland's Municipal Stadium, the World Series, and the Indians are entertaining the Boston Braves. Players like Lou Boudreau, Joe Gordon, Ken Keltner, Lary Doby, Bob Feller and Satchel Paige. A one-game playoff against the Red Sox for the American League pennant. And then the World Series - the Indians' first since 1920.
There's no mistake about it. Cleveland was ready for a brand new ballpark. And when the Indians entertained the Mariners at Jacobs Field on Monday, April 4, 1994, a new era was officially under way. Here, with Seattle's Rich Amaral at bat, Indians' starter Dennis Martinez shoots for the outside corner and a called strike on the first official pitch at the fantastic new facility.
