CLEVELAND — Terry Francona obviously wishes Cleveland\u2019s 2016 season ended with a parade<\/a>. That\u2019s stating the obvious, as the team’s former skipper noted, considering how close he and his ballclub came to making that reality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

When Francona looks back on that team one decade later, another sentiment stands prominently in his mind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cBut pride won out over disappointment. I was so proud of that group,\u201d Francona said. \u201cIt was a really good group.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The 2016 club is being honored at Progressive Field this weekend, 10 years after its American League pennant-winning season. The celebration corresponds with the three-game series between the Guardians and Reds, whom Francona now manages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Sixteen members of the 2016 team were part of Friday\u2019s festivities, including Jason Kipnis<\/a>, Andrew Miller, Corey Kluber<\/a>, Bryan Shaw, Cody Allen, Yan Gomes, Coco Crisp and Brandon Guyer. Mike Napoli is also in town; he\u2019s the Reds\u2019 assistant bench coach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

That group helped captivate the city of Cleveland with a magical season that ended with a painful loss in Game 7 of the World Series<\/a>. There will always be a stinging feeling around how things ended, and how close the franchise came to celebrating its first championship title since 1948.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The scars from what Cleveland didn\u2019t accomplish may not go away, but the appreciation for what the squad did achieve will persist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cThe further you become removed from it, I don’t want to say that wounds heal,\u201d Kluber said. \u201cBut they become less deep. You\u2019re able to look at the bigger picture and realize what we were able to accomplish. Even though ultimately it didn\u2019t go the way we wanted it to at the end, leading up to that was special and you appreciate that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The 2016 team celebrated the franchise\u2019s first AL Central title since \u201807 and first pennant since \u201897. The club had a 14-game winning streak (June 17-July 1), which culminated with a 19-inning, 2-1 win<\/a> over Toronto.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cPeople ask all the time, \u2018Hey, when did you know they were special?\u2019\u201d Francona said. \u201cI don’t think you have to win the final game. They were a special group, and they always will be.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The players got a vote of confidence they could do something special when they acquired Miller from the Yankees before the Trade Deadline. There was some debate in Cleveland\u2019s front office on whether the prospect cost was too steep before the deal went down, Francona recalled.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Francona said he rode his scooter to Progressive Field after getting word of the potential trade. He pleaded with team brass on how much Miller would help. The lefty ultimately logged a 1.55 ERA over 26 regular-season appearances and a 1.40 ERA over 10<\/em> postseason appearances as a versatile bullpen fireman.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cAndrew Miller was in that training room every night, just [saying], ‘I’ll be ready tomorrow,\u2019\u201d Francona said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Miller was a new face, but many members of the 2016 team came up together through Cleveland\u2019s farm system. It made the ride all the more fun. A repeated refrain Friday was how tight-knit the group was.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cIt was just guys who have been best friends for, like, seven years, Minors to Majors,\u201d Kipnis said. \u201cIt was such a fun team.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Kipnis was in a unique position as a guy from the Chicagoland area. He had loved ones who were Cubs fans donning his Cleveland jersey at Wrigley Field, and part of him can appreciate what that title meant to his hometown.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

But he can\u2019t bring himself to go back and watch many highlights — beyond Davis\u2019 epic home run that fills his YouTube viewing history, with clips documenting that moment from a variety of perspectives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cIt was the first time I felt like, \u2018Oh, that’s what pandemonium is,\u2019\u201d said Kipnis while recalling the ballpark\u2019s atmosphere at that moment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Among other postseason moments. Kluber recalled a raucous crowd at Fenway Park chanting Allen\u2019s name in the ninth inning of Game 3 of the ALDS. Boston put two runners on with two outs. Allen got Travis Shaw to fly out to clinch the series for Cleveland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

There\u2019s no forgetting Kluber putting a beleaguered rotation on his back and making three starts during the Series. Cleveland won Games 1 and 4 behind its ace and lost Game 7, which went 10 innings and featured a 17-minute rain delay heading into the 10th.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Who knows what would have happened had play not been halted, with momentum entirely on Cleveland’s side, but Francona doesn\u2019t think that\u2019s what cost them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cI just don’t feel like that did us in,\u201d Francona said. \u201cI think lesser teams than the Cubs probably don’t win that game, but I just never really bought into that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Kluber said part of the reason that season\u2019s finish stings is because they know how much Cleveland is hungry to celebrate a baseball championship. It has been so for a long time. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

That moment, he hopes, is not far away.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cThat time\u2019s coming, hopefully sooner than later,\u201d Kluber said. \u201cI think it will be fantastic for the organization, the guys on the field, the fans in the stands. Whenever that day comes, it will be a special time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
