One in 1995 and the second in 1997. The Indians were loaded with talent Orel Hershiser, Dave Justice, Manny Ramirez, Jim Thome, Jared Wright, Matt Williams, Marquise Grissom, Jack McDowell, Charles Nagy, Julio Franco, Omar Vizquel, and Hose Mesa. this was the Indians 5th american league championship.  The Indians finished the year going 86-75 winning the american league central division. In the ALDS the Indians defeated the then defending world series champions New York Yankees 3-2. The iIdians then faced the heavily favored Baltimore Orioles defeating the orioles 4-2 with Marquise Grissom winning the ALCS MVP honors. The indians moved on to the world series and everyone knows the outcome. The Indians lead going into the bottom of the 9th inning with one of the best closers in baseball Hose Mesa. The Marlins would tie the game in the 9th and have their hearts broke in the 11th inning by Edgar Renteria. This was one of the best and most exciting in history of baseball. This beautiful ring will make a wonderful addition to the fan or collector.
