CLEVELAND ECONOMY FEELS THE BOOST OF FIRST-EVER TRIFECTA

          In '97, Cleveland became the first city to ever host
     the NBA All-Star Weekend, the MLB All-Star Game and the
     World Series in the same year.  The Greater Cleveland
     Convention & Visitors Bureau told THE DAILY that the three
     events, including the Indians' nine postseason home games,
     had a direct impact of $121.3M on the region's economy.  The
     following lists the event, dates and economic impact:
