Baseball: Cleveland Indians
The Cleveland Indians staged one of baseball’s greatest comebacks in front of a national television audience on Sunday night, Aug. 5, 2001, at Jacobs Field in Cleveland. Cleveland recovered from a 14-2 deficit in the sixth inning to upset the Seattle Mariners with 13 unanswered runs. The Indians tied the game with five runs in the ninth inning and then won it in the bottom of the 11th. It was only the third occasion in MLB history that a team had climbed out of such a deep hole.
