It was nearly thirty years later that the Cleveland Indians were once again able to punch their tickets to the World Series this time against the Boston Braves (now the Atlanta Braves). Behind players like Lou Boudreau, Larry Doby and Joe Gordon, the Cleveland Indians went onto defeat the Braves four games to two.

The next thirty years were tough for the organization, and they didn't return to the playoffs until 1995. Behind players like Manny Ramirez, Jim Thome and Albert Belle, the Cleveland Indians began a string of dominant years which included two World Series appearances. They squared off against the Atlanta Braves in 1995, where they were overmatched and fell to the Braves in six games. Two years later the Cleveland Indians returned to the series and were within two outs of the title, but the Florida Marlins scraped their way back and took Game 7 and the series.
