Cavs show off championship rings at World Series
Trailing 2-0 in the fourth inning of Game 2 of the World Series, the Cleveland Indians got a little inspiration for a comeback from some of their jewelry-wearing neighbors.
Members of the defending NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers attended the game against the Chicago Cubs in a box at Progressive Field and tried to fire up the Indians and the crowd on the big screen by displaying their massive 2015 championship rings, which commemorate Cleveland's most recent sports championship - the city's first since 1964.
