The 1999 Cleveland Indians enjoyed a historic offensive season, becoming the first Major League Baseball team in nearly 50 years to score over 1,000 runs. Led by manager Mike Hargrove and standout performances from Manny Ramirez, Roberto Alomar, and Omar Vizquel, the team finished first in the AL Central with an impressive 97-65 record. Notable for their resilience, the Indians set a major league record by overcoming three separate eight-run deficits during the campaign and led the league in attendance at Jacobs Field. A 2018 Hall of Fame inductee and five-time All-Star, Jim Thome was a prolific power hitter for the Cleveland Indians who hit 612 career home runs and led the franchise to two World Series appearances during his 22-season career.
