Four months after the Cleveland Cavaliers voided the city of Cleveland's championship drought, the Cleveland Indians will get their shot in the World Series.
The Tribe, playing in their first World Series in 19 years, advanced with a 3-0 win over the Toronto Blue Jays in Game Five of the ALCS Wednesday night.
As you'd expect, Buckeyes of all stripes took to social media to show their joy.
