Post-season MLB #2

The Cleveland Indians and Toronto Blue Jays both swept in the ALDS. Of course, I will root for the Indians -- my local team now -- when they face the Blue Jays in the ALCS to decide which one plays in the WS.

The Indians swept the Boston Red Sox. It was (most likely) the final game in the career of David "Big Papi" Ortiz of the Red Sox (link). In the spring he announced he planned to retire after this season. What a final season it was!  A decline in skills late in a career is typical, but wasn't for Big Papi. His batting average was .315, and he had 38 homers and 127 RBIs.
