I truly never saw the charm Wells has. He's not my type of pitcher never have liked the man.

Still without a championship since the Truman administration?

Perhaps, but only 64 wins seperate the Tribe and Bosux from having the same record. A couple of .500 years instead of those 90-100 loss years we had and we'd have a better overall record than you... when was your last 100+ win season?????

All kidding and sports aside, which industries are most successful there?

None right now (it was built on steel and manufacturing and the old school money and power that be in that city refuse to invest in anything else). Akron is the only city in this area getting away from manufacturing and investing in polymer research (University of Akron is one of the best Polymer tech schools out there).

As much as it has sucked over the years, getting beat down by the Yankees was the best thing to happen to the Sox. It's amazing how a change in attitude and ownership has made all the difference in the world. I firmly believe the Yankees run is over.

I think if the Yankees start to truly decline and this is not just a hiccup, you'll see Steinbrenner start agreeing that a cap is needed and MLB will have one.
Hey as an Indian fan, I hate the Yankees as much as you Boston fans do..... and to think the owner of the Yankees is from Cleveland and tried to buy the Indians but Stouffer wouldn't budge on price and the club was on the edge of bankruptcy..... so why overpay? Especially when the Yankees became available for an extremely cheap price.
I think if anything the renaisance of the 90's shows Cleveland to be a great baseball town, we just need an owner that will spend some money and at least try to let us contend instead of make excuses why he won't spend money and keep payroll way below even the ML average.
