1998 Cleveland Indians season

The 1998 Cleveland Indians season was the 98th season for the franchise and the 5th season at Jacobs Field. The Indians hoped to improve upon their American League pennant-winning season of 1997, but succumbed to the New York Yankees in the ALCS in six games. The Indians would lead the American League Central division wire-to-wire in 1998, becoming the first team in franchise history (and , the only team in franchise history) to do so.
