That happened when? 1975? It was about then, The Indians sucked (I hated it when they won a game, because I knew that tomorrow they would lose (couldn't win 2 in a row in those days). A 95 loss season was a victory (it wasn't 100). But I listened to Herb Score call the games every night.
I remember the time a pop up to short center field resulted in an inside the park home run and 3 players ending up on the DL. The centerfielder, 2B, SS, LF and RF all converged on the high pop fly. Apparently they all called it (I have it. . . No you have it) and then collided. The ball landed a few feet from the pile of bodies. The first one to the ball was a trainer who came from the dugout to help the concussed and bleeding players. If it weren't for the injuries, it would have been funny.
Those were dark days for Indians fans (and yes, Alvin Dark was the manager!)
