The Indians defeat the Yankees in 5 games to advance to the ALCS against the Baltimore Orioles
Thanks @espn
In my opinion, this was the best series in Cleveland baseball history of my life (born 1983, comment written on May 1 2022)
Yes, it probably was. Games 4 and 5 were particularly exciting.
Seeing that image of disgusted George Steinbrenner after the Indians won the series always puts a smile on my face.
@breadandcircuses8127not no one
I was at game 5. In right field. I still remember that Thome diving stop like it was yesterday. I also remember watching game 4 on tv and being down with 4 outs to go to being eliminated and Rivera coming in. That Home Run by Sandy was awesome!
Until game 7 of the 2001 World Series, this was the only time Torre’s Yankees knew the feeling of playoff disappointment
How about 2004?

1:24 y’all see how far up and in this pitch was to Jeter- Dude turned on that hard 💣
This Channel is very underrated I really enjoyed it It reminded me of history that Happen before I was born
Hard to believe that people (adults even) were born after 1997 lol!!!
@@tbewin1z143I work with “adults” who were born after 2000. They seem like kids to me lol
That Cleveland infield middle defense is just awesome (Catcher, 2B, Shortstop, centerfield).
Was even better 1999-2001 when they had Alomar at 2B.
Game 2 was the killer. If the Yanks hold on, it's a short series.
The Yanks did a great job taking care of weaknesses in '98. Getting Brosius, Knoblauch, and Davis. Soriano came over from Japan. The pieces were there for the dynasty to come.
Fun fact - Mark Prior was drafted by the Yanks in the first round.
This was a great division series. All 5 games were tight. Yankees have now been involved in 2 great ALDS, 1995 and 1997. Both losses sadly.
Got some revenge back in 2017 though coming back from down 0-2 to win that series.
The last two AL Champions go head-to-head in the AL Division Series. The Yankees, 96-66 on the season as a Wild Card, are prohibitive favorites to beat the Cleveland Indians, 86-75 in the AL Central (a 6 game margin), But David Cone's shoulder was a question mark in Game 1 at Yankee Stadium. In the 1st, the Tribe pounced on Cone for 5 runs, capped by Sandy Alomar's three-run shot. It was still 6-3 Indians in the 6th, but the Yankees scratched home a two-out run, and then Tim Raines tied it with a two-run shot. Derek Jeter and Paul O'Neill followed suit, making the Yankees the first team in postseason history to go back-to-back-to-back. The Yanks won Game 1, 8-6.
After giving up three runs in the bottom of the 1st, Cleveland's 21 year-old rookie Jaret Wright pitched five shutout frames while the Indians jumped on Pettitte for seven runs in the 4th and 5th innings. The Tribe held on to win, 7-5, to even it up at 1 game each. At the Jake in Game 3, David Wells went the distance in a 6-1 Yankees' triumph, where O'Neill belted a grand slam in the 4th.
The Yankees scored twice in the 1st inning of Game 4, and carried a 2-1 lead into the bottom of the 8th. With Mariano Rivera on the mound, the Yanks seemed primed to advance to the ALCS for a rematch with the Orioles. But with two out, Sandy Alomar came up. With a 2-0 count, Alomar went opposite field that just cleared the wall in right for a game-tying home run. Riding the momentum, Marquis Grissom singled to open the bottom of the 9th, moved to second on a bunt, and then scored on Omar Vizquel's single off the glove of pitcher Ramiro Mendoza. The Indians forced a Game 5 with a 3-2 thriller.
Buoyed by the Game 4 win, Jaret Wright pitched five and a third solid innings while the Indians scored four runs off Pettitte. The bullpen came in and hung on for a 4-3 Indians' win. Suddenly, the defending World Champions were going home, and the Indians are headed back to the ALCS for the second time in three years and face the Baltimore Orioles.
As a result, baseball would have a new World Champion in 1997. Why not Cleveland?
Go figure an 86 win Indians team came closer to winning it all than the 100+ win Tribe of 95
@@chrisuncleahmad Not only that, to think had Mesa not choked the WS MVP would have been Jaret Wright.
@@iamhungey12345 No it would have more likely been Sandy Alomar with 10 RBI and great overall play at Catcher. Bob Costas was even speculating before Game 6 that Sandy may have won the series MVP even if the Marlins closed in 6.
@@andrewjacobitz2726 If they had closed in 6.
This 97 Indians Team Was Very Underrated They beat a solid Yankees Team That Was the defending champs and than beat a very good orioles team in 6 games and almost won this team is forgotten and almost was better than the 95 Team
IMHO, the 95 team was better than the 97 team. One just has to look at the lineup:
Lofton, Vizquel, Baerga, Belle, Murray, Ramirez, Thome, Sorrento & Alomar.
Top 5 CF in the 90s, gold glove short stop, best switch hitting 2nd baseman at the time, the only player with a 50/50 season as the clean up hitter, followed by 3 members of the 500 home run club, one of whom went on to hit 600 homers.
Name a line up that’s better than that in the last 30-40 years
Fantastic upload! Thank you! Such a great series ...
What I'll always remember outside of Sandy's HR off Rivera was that the Indians thought they had a homegrown ace in Jaret Wright after his performance against the Yankees and the '97 playoffs, so they refused to trade him with Colon and Giles for Pedro. Ugh. What could've been.
Had Cleveland hold on to that game 7 vs the Marlins in the World Series, none of that Pedro-Wright-trade what-if would have mattered.
Cleveland would have gotten their title, broken their "City of Cleveland Curse", and no one would have ever brought up Pedro in Cleveland talks, and Wright would be seen as a Cleveland legend
The Yankees last playoff series loss until the 2001 MLB World Series.
Go figure an 86 win Indians team came closer to winning it all than the 100+ win Tribe of 95
I don't see how this Indians squad only won 86! Look at that lineup!
@@jaredmenard7645 Hitting isn't the only thing in baseball.
@@iamhungey12345 yes, but didn't both tribe squads in 1995 and 1997 have the same relatively weak pitching staffs?
@@jaredmenard7645 Their pitching were somewhat better in 1995, the 1997 team had starting pitchers all with ERA over 4. You know it takes a minute to look it up right? Much of the core pitchers in 1995 were ageing but by no means weak unlike 2 years later. Only Nagy was relatively young and the guy tends to be up and down on season by season.
@@iamhungey12345 I think the league was better in 1997 haha. The AL certainly was lol
Offseason moves that Yankees will make with players currently on their roster:
- This was Wade Boggs final season with the Yankees, and he will sign with the expansion Tampa Bay Rays next 1998 season.
- This was Cecil Fielder final season with the Yankees, and he will sign with the Angels in the offseason.
- This was Kenny Rogers final season with the Yankees, as he will be traded for Oakland in the offseason for Scott Brosius.
- Yankees will acquire Chuck Knoublach in a trade in the offseason from the Twins, and the Twins will get Eric Milton and Christian Guzman
I still do wonder why the the Yanks and Indians were even playing each other in the LDS, when the Indians had the third best record amongst the 3 division winners. I always thought it should have been Baltimore, who had the best record AL playing the Indians (since the rules precluded two division rivals playing each other in the LDS), and the Mariners, who had the second best division record, playing the WC Yankees. That was how the seeding worked in the NL that year.
1997 was a minor bump in the road for the Yankees.
In game 2 (4th inning) y is torre intentionally walking people when the yanks are up 3-0 in the game. Stupid.
Yes!!!! Being these days back
13:23 So close to tie it in game 5 by Paul Oneill
Missed this one as I was knee deep in Marine Corps basic training. The only time from 1996 to 2000 the Yankees were beaten in the postseason. That's 15 series and they went 14-1. Absurd. Florida is very fortunate because the Yankees likely win it all that year as well otherwise.
Not with Cone out, and they were the wild card!
@@jaredmenard7645 So were the Marlins.
Doc Gooden NEVER won a postseason game. He pitched great many times, but never won (either no run support, or bullpen blew it, or he pitched badly, or that game 4 in the 1988 NLCS ouch).
Had Mariano hold on to this game 4, Doc would have won.
David Wells, SO UNDERRATED. He spanked Cleveland in game 3, and he will spank them again in 98 ALCS
I was at game 2. Up until the middle of that game it looked like it was going to be a short series.
5:02 Rookie Jaret Wright getting up to 99 MPH
12:23 Thome clutch webgem in game 5
The Indians sure were a helluva team
Still 😢 AFTER 24YEARS
I could watch game 5 all day to see the yanks lose
Why did every ESPN commentator in the ‘90s feel the need to cram 3 puns in per minute?
They should probably call that the Berman effect.
The Tribe should’ve kept Matt Williams and Grissom.
Paul Oneill is a STUD. So clutch
Why did the indians have homefield? And whats with the 2-3 format?
At that time, no wild card was allowed to have home field, even if they had a better record than a division winner. And it was 2-3 from ‘95-‘97 until they -rightfully - switched it
@@billnondone I disagree; I actually LOVED the 2-3 format for best-of-5 division series.
