Boston-The Cleveland Indians, led by Manager Terry Francona, broke the A’s record of twenty consecutive wins on Wednesday in Cleveland. The A’s set the record in 2002 with twenty wins in a row. Many People thought the record would stand longer than fifteen years, but the Indians did as they won their twenty-first of the year beating the Detroit Tigers 5-3.

Players, managers, coaches, and fans know that records are meant to be broken. The A’s sent their congratulations to Francona and the Indians. Francona was the A’s bench coach in 2003 and left the A’s to take the Red Sox job in2004. Everyone knows what he did in Boston. He took the 2004 team to the World Series crown and ended an 86-year drought. Francona won it again in 2011 and last year, almost did it again as his Indians lost to the Cubs in extra innings.

All anyone can say is way to go Indians and here’s hoping the team breaks the twenty-six game Major League record set by the New York Giants in 1916.
