The 1997 Cleveland Indians were owned by Dan Lee.
The 1997 Cleveland Indians were owned by Dan Lee.
If 1996 was a tangible step forward for the Indians, 1997 was a quantum leap forward. The team posted a twelve-game improvement from the previous season and ended with a very respectable 80-74 record and a second-place finish.
Offensively, the Indians had a murderer's row in the middle of the lineup. Whereas teams in previous years had to deal with players like Sam Thompson (.225-7-41 in 1995) and Ron Santo (.222-13-66 in 1996) in the middle of the Cleveland lineup, now they had to contend with the likes of Josh Gibson (.260-51-130), Joe Jackson (.339-9-90), and All-Star and fan favorite Hal Trosky (.340-32-89). Role players like Joe "Moon" Harris (.297-5-23 in 185 AB) and George Gore (.284-6-55) contributed considerable offensive pop despite their limited defensive skills. Utilityman Rex Hudler reappeared in the OOSL after a one-year absence, hitting .255 with 2 home runs in 47 at-bats, in the process becoming the first-ever Indian to have his number retired.
While the offense improved mightily, it was a story of schizophrenia for the Cleveland pitching staff. Former closer Bruce Sutter totally collapsed at the beginning of the season. Time after time, Sutter came into close games and melted down. Mercifully, he was shipped out of Northeast Ohio about a third of the way into the season, with an ERA of 7.04 and an opponent batting average of .350. Lefty prospect Don Mossi was also traded away in the Sutter deal. He left Cleveland with an ERA of 9.39 and a .361 opponent batting average in 14 games. Despite the bullpen disarray at the beginning of the season, the Tribe put things together on the mound for the second half. Newcomers
Charlie Sweeney, Kevin Appier, and Pete Richert anchored the "Tag Team" bullpen. Another change for the pitching staff came in the closer role. Where Bruce Sutter once was the unquestioned closer, the team now relied on a closer-by-committee system. Over the course of the season, 12 pitchers earned saves. In the starting rotation, newcomer John Smoltz excelled, as did ace starter Dazzy Vance. Fifth starter Schoolboy Rowe struggled, but Indians fans were pleased with the 5 home runs Rowe chipped in at the plate.
The surprise of the season for Cleveland was the emergence of slugging first-sacker Hal Trosky. Despite getting only 368 at-bats, Trosky walloped 32 homers and 24 doubles, finishing with a batting average of .340. With his big season, Number 7 earned the respect and admiration of Indians fans and management for generations to come.
With their first-ever 80 win season, the Cleveland squad was beginning to reach the form that their front office had envisioned for years. OOSL fans everywhere would be stunned at the progress the team would make in 1998.
