Computer baseball sim Imagine Sports/Diamond Mind Baseball ran the 2007 ALCS 1,000 times, and the Red Sox won 59% of the time. If the Red Sox won game 1, they won the series 72.5% of the time, and if Cleveland won, the Indians won 59% of the time.

Bahsten on the scoreboard now.

Yeah, I believe it... I never heard of Tsimshian Indians though.

I’ve seen a lot of Zuni fetishes, have a couple of bears amulets.

Your teams city is Cleveland - just as the city of the Red Sox is Boston. Unless I missed something
