The proofreader seriously needs to look for another line of work.
Cleveland set a Major League Baseball record in 2001 after selling out every single home game since June 1995. The tide changed that year, when it lost to Seattle in the first round of the playoffs. The team never performed again at the winning level it had in the 90’s, only making the playoffs once over the decade, losing a heartbreaking world series to the Red Sox. Attendance then plummeted even further, dropping to just 1.39 million from 3.17 million ten years ago. In 2001, Cleveland drew the fifth-most fans in all of baseball. Last year, the team had the lowest attendance. The team also set a major league record for the lowest attendance in a single game — just 9,853 people showed up to the second home game of the season.
I'll let you guys read the above paragraph and you tell me what's wrong with it. Geez, you'd think professionals in sports news would be better than this.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
