Cleveland Guardians Celebrate 10th Anniversary of 2016 AL Champion Indians
The Guardians honored the 2016 AL pennant team as players and coaches relived a 94-67 season and a Game 7 loss to the Cubs.
- On Friday, the Cleveland Guardians honored their 2016 American League championship team at Progressive Field, reuniting former players and staff a decade after their historic World Series run.
- Led by manager Terry Francona, the 2016 Indians won 94 games and the AL Central title before losing a dramatic seven-game Fall Classic to the Chicago Cubs.
- Reflecting on the run, Jason Kipnis said, "It's such a whirlwind of a lifetime experience fit into a short time period," while former teammates shared memories during the ceremony.
- The reunion coincided with the Ohio Cup series against the Cincinnati Reds, now managed by Francona, who told 3News the 2016 squad "kept playing" despite being "so beat up at the end."
- Continuing the weekend celebration, the first 15,000 fans at Progressive Field on Saturday will receive a special Rajai Davis bobblehead depicting his iconic game-tying home run from that 2016 championship series.
