Has it really been that long?

INDIANS

Twenty-five years ago the Spokane Indians dropped from the highest level of baseball's minor leagues (AAA) to near the lowest (short-season A).

But the Indians are still Spokane's team, and short seasons or not, they've built some impressive memories over the past 25 years.

John Blanchette turns the spotlight on those memories, writing his way back through the years in this story.

But there's more (just like those K-Tel ads). John also has this column about two Indians players who made the bigs. It's just their paths that were different.
