On
July 27th the Indians were a half-game out of first place. Kenny Lofton played his first game July 28th. Cleveland went 36-22 from then until the end of the season and were one game away from the best record in baseball. Kenny was and is the difference.
Bob Harris,
- this is better than 1994, you
idiot were wrong. Because there isn't a stat for a player smart enough
to score from second on a Randy Johnson wild pitch in the eighth inning of a decisive game. Kenny is on playoff teams because he is a winner.
The most recent example:
Lofton's sac fly in 12th tops MarinersThe weekend before the trade
Tom Hamilton was lofting praise upon Kenny during the broadcast, just about every inning. Upon those rumors I ran into the house to tell Miss Kitty Lofton.
When the Indians got Lofton back I knew then that they were headed for the playoffs. I should have made a bet...
