Cleveland sports fans, who endured more than 50 years of futility, will celebrate in style on Tuesday with an NBA title, a return to baseball's World Series and a truckload of ice cream.
For some, the partying has already started ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers raising their NBA championship banner before the league season opener against the New York Knicks and the Cleveland Indians playing host to the Chicago Cubs across the street at in Major League Baseball's best-of-seven playoff final opener.
"It's a special day for our fans, for Cleveland, for northeast Ohio to be able to enjoy," Cavaliers star LeBron James said.
"It's a day that will go down in history for anyone that lives (here), they'll never forget it. I'm happy I'm a part of it."
Not since the 1964 NFL Cleveland Browns has the city known such sporting success, and many of the failures in between were epic. It's a city once ridiculed by some as a "Mistake by the Lake." It's Cuyahoga River was so polluted that it caught fire in 1969.
That's the legacy that helped prompt the Cavaliers' hashtag "WonForAll."
