All things must pass: Indians win streak ends at 22 games

Cleveland 3 - Kansas City 4

Recaps: LGT | Indians.com | Cleveland.com

I did not watch the game last night. It is Homecoming weekend at my alma mater and we had several college friends in from out of town for dinner and conversation. It has been 30 years since we graduated and we talked and ate pizza and laughed. Mostly we laughed. A lot. I had MLB At Bat running Gameday and glanced over at my phone every so often, but there were more important things going on.

Baseball is a beautiful game, but there are just some things it does not, cannot and should not replace. Today, we will watch a parade, catch up with more friends, and maybe watch some football in beautiful and a bit surprising 80-degree weather and maybe the Indians will start a new streak. Like those old college days, the streak was beautiful and surprising, but now it is over and we move on with fond memories.
