The starting shortstop for the Tribe was a young Julio Franco.
The Indians “improved” to 13-27. This was a Cleveland team that was on the cover of Sports Illustrated before the season started with the heading: “INDIAN UPRISING" and the sub-headline, "Believe it! Cleveland is the best team in the American League!"
