We’re going to 20! My Cleveland Indians are red hot right now, having won 15 games in a row. Impressively, the Indians also won 14 straight last season. An Ohio roofing and window company celebrating its 15th anniversary thought it’d be a fun contest to offer customers a 100 percent refund on work done in July if the Indians won 15 consecutive games at any point this year. The damage? Nearly $2 million.
Some people really made out, as ESPN reports: “I never believed it was going to happen, so I only started paying attention yesterday,” said Lorianne Sevic, who with her husband Dan paid the company to do $34,000 worth of windows, siding, doors and gutters in July that they will now get for free.” Here’s the beautiful part: Universal Windows Direct paid only $75,000 for the insurance policy that will cover the $1.7 million. The Tribe is having a great season, so expect more Tribe coverage in this space. Here’s a web gem for you: Cy Young contender Corey Kluber is basically throwing Wiffleballs. The Diamondbacks also have an impressive streak going, and swept the vaunted Dodgers. The Tribe, on this streak, won back-to-back double headers. That’s four games in 48 hours. Nuts!
