If you weren’t a Cleveland Guardians fan before, it’s time to jump on the baseball bandwagon.
The team on Sunday won its 13th division title in franchise history, accomplishing the feat in an underdog-spectacular run that feels particularly Cleveland.
The Guardians trailed the Tigers by 15½ games in early July. Even in early September, they were still looking up at an 11-game deficit. According to baseball historians, they surpassed the 1914 Boston Braves for the largest championship comeback in MLB history, a record that stood for 110 years.
The Guardians host the Detroit Tigers at 1 p.m. today at Progressive Field in Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Serie
