Blast From the Past: 1994

I visited what was then Jacobs Field, home of the Cleveland Indians, in June 1994 during its inaugural season. The weather was hardly summer-like; a damp chilly rain turned a three-game series into two games spread over three days.

A big inducement for this visit was to see the Yankees. Keep in mind, this was 1994. So while you see Bernie Williams (#51) near the batting cage, the other home-grown cornerstones of the upcoming dynasty -- Jeter, Pettitte, Posada and Rivera -- are still in the minor leagues.
