The Cleveland Indians are currently a member of the American League Central. However from 1969-1993 they were members of the American League East. Between the two divisions the Indians how won 7 Division Titles all of which were won when they were in the Central Division. The Indians have won two World Series. The years were 1920 and 1948. I am a Braves fan so I know that in 1995 the Brave played the Indians in the World Series. The Braves ended up winning which is good for me, but not the Indians. The Indians are an average team in the MLB. They finished this year at .500 which is not bad, but other teams like the St. Louis Cardinals finished the regular season with a recored of 100-62 which is equal to .617. I have watched a movie that is about the Cleveland Indians. It was not real but the movie had the owner of the team put a lot of bad players on the team to try and make them lose. However the team of "bad" players ended up winning the World Series. The Indians play their home games at Progressive Field. It is also know as Jacobs Field. They have been playing here since 1994. They have played at 2 other ballparks since the team was created in 1901. The team has two nicknames, they are the Tribe and the Wahoos. When the team was first created in 1901 they were called the Cleveland Bluebirds. However that name didn't last long because in 1902 they changed their name to the Cleveland Broncos. They changed their name again in 1903 the the Cleveland Naps. Three different names in three years. They were the Naps until 1915 when they changed their name for the last time to the Cleveland Indians.
