The Cleveland Indians, an American professional baseball team, play in Cleveland, Ohio, a town with a long baseball history dating back to 1894. Today the Indians compete as a Major League Baseball (MLB) team in the American League (AL) Central division. The Indians have bounced around between Cleveland stadiums using as home fields League Park (1901-1932, and 1934-1946), Cleveland Stadium (1932-1933 and 1937-1993), and finally Progressive Field (1994-present).
During this time the Tribe has earned two World Series titles (1920 and 1948), six American League pennants (1920, 1948, 1954, 1995, 1997 and 2016), and 10 Central Division titles (1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2007, 2016, 2017 and 2018) as of this date.
It should be noted that in the early years baseball teams used pennants rather than flags (hence the practice of calling championships winning the pennant) and there were a host of unofficial manufacturer's variants of these and later fan flags marketed for their fans. They included flags, banners, and pennants too numerous to all be shown here.

For those baseball fans who own boats and want to display their team loyalty afloat, these flags are available for them. The flags take the form of either a broad pennant or a square boat flag with either a cap or team logo near the hoist. Each uses the individual team's colors in their designs.
Note: Because of the small size of these nautical broad pennants. usually about a foot tall (approximately 30.48 centimeters), they have also gained popularity as "golf cart" flags. It should also be noted that a broad pennant, or any other flag shape, is only called a "burgee" if it designates an organized boating club.
