The Cleveland Series

[Nellie Fox]

Okay, everybody knows that this series coming up is extremely important. So, what do you honestly expect? Not what you want to happen, but what you really think is going to happen. Sweep? Swept? Something in between? It's an anonymous poll, so you don't have to worry about "representing" Sox fandom. The poll closes at game time.

We need shades of 1959, I remember the Sox going into Cleveland for a 4 game series in late August and sweeping the Indians before huge crowds with 70,000 on hand Friday night and 66,000 on Sunday. That series was huge as the Sox never looked back again and of course we clinched in Cleveland on Sept. 22.

Cleveland Municipal Stadium was a cavernous place. It held 78,000 back then.

Right, they could have a crowd of 40,000 and it would look almost empty.
