A rare full unused ticket from July 31, 1996, a wild late-inning comeback at Jacobs Field capped by Albert Belle’s game-winning grand slam with two outs in the bottom of the 9th. This is peak 1990s Indians baseball—Lofton stealing two bags, Vizquel reaching three times and swiping another, and Thome doubling as Cleveland stormed back to win 4–2.

Belle’s blast was his 36th HR of 1996, part of a four-RBI night that erased Toronto’s lead and stunned the Blue Jays bullpen. Charles Nagy struck out 5 over 5, while Paul Assenmacher earned the win with 1.2 dominant innings to close it out.

Future stars all over the field: Carlos Delgado (2B), Joe Carter (hit), John Olerud (hit), Shawn Green (hit) — and Cleveland’s powerhouse core of Lofton, Vizquel, Thome, Belle, Alomar Jr. An outstanding piece of 1990s AL Central history.
