The 2006 Cleveland Indians season was the 106th season for the franchise. It began with the Cleveland Indians attempting to win the AL Central and make the Playoffs. The Indians finished with a mediocre 78-84 record and missed the playoffs. It was the final season before Progressive bought the naming rights to then-Jacobs Field.
Offseason[]
- December 7, 2005: Paul Byrd was signed as a Free Agent with the Cleveland Indians.[1]
- January 6, 2006: Todd Hollandsworth was signed as a Free Agent with the Cleveland Indians.[2]
Regular season[]
On September 2, 2006, Kevin Kouzmanoff became the 23rd Major Leaguer to hit a home run in his first Major League at bat, the 12th American Leaguer to do so, and the second of 2006 (along with Adam Wainwright of the St. Louis Cardinals). He was only the third player to have the home run be a grand slam.[3] Kouzmanoff is only one of two players in Major League Baseball history to hit a grand slam on his first pitch ever seen in the Big Leagues, along with Daniel Nava. The pitcher who gave up the hit was Edinson Vólquez.
