Top 5 Things Cleveland Sports Fans Should be Thankful For

2. Two of the Three Major Sports Teams in Town are at the Top of Their Sport

It happened very differently, but no matter how you look at it, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Cleveland Indians are two of the best teams in sports right now.

Let that sink in as you eat your turkey.

The Cavs were not much of a surprise, as everyone knew if this team could stay healthy they were the best team in the East, and while they were taken to six games again in the Eastern Conference Finals, they won and then pulled off the unthinkable, winning the Finals in 7 games overcoming a 3-1 deficit to everyone’s ‘greatest team of all-time’ the Golden State Warriors.

On the other side, the Indians kinda came out of nowhere, going on a 14-game win streak that set the tone for them to eventually win the AL Central, and then surprisingly dominate their way to the World Series in beating the Red Sox and Blue Jays before collapsing after a 3-1 lead over the Cubs in the World Series.

No matter, both teams are on tap to be good again and again challenge for a title, as the Cavs are already off to a 10-2 record and could be better than last season.

The Indians will again re-tool some spots this offseason, but there’s no doubt when spring training starts they should be right at the top of the American League and like the Royals two-year run that ended in a title, this year could be the Tribe’s year to finally finish off the World Series.
