I’ve been a Cleveland Indians fan every since I was a kid in the Ninties. I remember my parents were so excited about the World Series that they brought the television into the kitchen for the first time. (Something that was unheard of at my old house.)
Always glad to hear from another Cleveland Indians fan! The Tribe has had it’s ups and down through the years, you never know when we’ll make a comeback.
Thanks,
Beau
