The 2016 Sports Awards: What won the ‘Eveland Only in Cl’ Moment of the Year? – cleveland.com

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The temptation is to write the entire introduction with the sentences rearranged in confusing ways, but we figured you get that enough whenever you read Bud Shaw’s stories.

This is our “Only in Cleveland” Sports Moment of the Year, a category that may have been filled to the rafters with nominees in the past, but for 2016 warranted just four nominees.

On the other hand, the award for the actual best sports moment in Cleveland in 2016 had more than twice as many nominees.

Again, nice year, Cleveland sports.
