Hey this is a long shot but I already searched Ebay with no luck so figured to take a shot (no pun intended) in the dark. I was wondering if any of you NE Ohio people could help, whether you have a lead or could keep an eye out. Last night a shot glass that is usually just kept as a decoration in my home was broken and I am hoping to find the exact same one as a replacement. It was a 2016 AL central champions shot glass. I was lucky enough to take my father up to an ALCS win against Toronto while he was battling pancreatic cancer and he passed shortly after. He was the biggest diehard Cleveland fan (the Indians were by far his favorite followed by Akron Zips basketball) and in such a tough moment and his weak state to see him beaming with joy and heckling Joey Bats it is a memory I'll hold on to forever. He grew up in Akron and passed down the NE Ohio love to all his children even though he and my mother transplanted to Virginia for teaching opportunities shortly after college. I know I'm probably shit out of luck but appreciate anyone even reading and giving this any thought. Attached is the glass. Cheers!

I shall get a looking for you! If there is one on sell on the web, I can usually find it! I'd also try to ask on maybe Facebook marketplace and see if anyone is willing to part with one.
Which area are you living in now? Plus if there is an antique store that has booths and whatnot, it's possible one in Northeastern Ohio that sells sports memorabilia, like bobbleheads and whatnot, could have one for sell...

I live in Richmond, VA
EDIT - I have a friend that does vintage dead stock stuff for a living and I have a ton of killer vintage browns gear I'd be willing to trade, sell, or part with if that would interest any collectors up there that have this shot glass. While I guess they are still "my" team and I wouldn't root for any other NFL team, I haven't been able to bring myself to wear and support it out since the Watson move. Plus the NFL as a whole just has kinda stagnated as whole product wise, spend my beautiful fall Sundays watching commercials. I can't believe I used to come up once a year for those fucking games.

Hmm...
I am not seeing anything on Amazon, Ebay or Mercari... I found a trash can of the 2016 ALCS Cleveland Indians on Facebook marketplace.
Also I know it's not the same, but it may be possible to make a replacement shot glass through someone who does custom shot glasses. You could maybe add your own little touch with Your father's name on it as well?
