2005 Cleveland Indians season


The 2005 Cleveland Indians season was the 105th season for the franchise. It involved the Indians attempting to win the American League Central division. They had a very good September, and went into a season-closing series with the Chicago White Sox with a chance to tie the White Sox record and make it into the playoffs, but lost three close games to finish 6 games behind the White Sox, who were the eventual World Series winners, eliminating Cleveland from the possibility to go to the playoffs.
