ESPN: Indians unveil renovation plans

 

The renovations are expected to be done in time for next season's home opener, Shapiro said, but he cautioned that the completion schedule will depend on winter weather and other factors. The changes will cut the capacity from 43,000 seats to about 38,000.

 

Changes will include a two-story bar area that is partially enclosed and an expanded section for children. Many of the improvements will be in the right-field sections of the park. A pedestrian bridge and other structures beyond right field will be removed to allow people outside the park to get a glimpse of the field.

Former AL MVP and MLB executive Al Rosen passes away at the age of 91

 

He played ten years, but almost none in the first three, so the main part of his career is seven years. .287/.886, averaged 27 homers and walked 1.5 times for each strikeout. Won the 1953 AL MVP and missed a Triple Crown by a point of BA. That's a hell of a seven years.

Corey Kluber strikes out 18 batters over eight scoreless innings against the Cardinals

 

This is the most strikeouts in a game since Ben Sheets in 2004 and in the AL since Roger Clemens in 1998--both also 18.

I'm always amazed when ML hitters can't even hit the ball anywhere... it's more impressive to me than a no-no...

@Ken_Rosenthal: #Indians follow a different philosophy; ownership did not want to impede or negatively affect Shapiro’s decision if he wanted to leave.
