Play Money: Baseball's Growing Pains on the Web

 PROFILE
Talk about a rally! After decades of so-so performance, the Cleveland Indians baseball team came alive in the 1990s with five consecutive American League Central titles and two trips to the World Series (1995, 1997). It is the one of the top valued franchises in Major League Baseball and has set a league record for consecutive regular-season sellouts (beginning in June 1995). The Indians date to the turn of the century, when the team became a charter member of the American League. Richard Jacobs purchased the team with his brother in 1986 and sold a stake to the public in 1998. In 2000 he sold the Indians to Ohio lawyer Lawrence Dolan, who took the team private again.
