Oh, no. As a kid I grew up watching them kick our butts just about every year in the 50s and 60s. Some of those Yankee double headers used to pack the old stadium with nearly 80,000 fans. We lost most of them.
I saw the last Indians and Browns games in that old stadium. I also remember my dad telling Grandma on her deathbed that we struck out Reggie Jackson three times.
I remember those days. I went to 4 or 5 twin-bills versus NY at Municipal in the 60's and 70's and the Yanks swept all of them. Gone are the days of the Max Alvis's, Vic Davalillo's and Duane Kuiper's. Hello to the Pronk's and CC's.
This series is so sweet for me!
Those were great days. It was something of a tradition to have the Yankees in on the 4th of July for a double bill. Some of the biggest crowds in MLB history I believe were in Cleveland back then. And why not, when you could pay two or three bucks and see Bob Feller pitch to Mickey Mantle?
