I grew up in Clevetown and saw my first Indians game in 1957, I remember it to this day (Indians got kicked by the Tigers). I'm with you on this. Yeah Cleveland's a football town but I think that current owners created some bad feelings there with getting rid of some poplular players when they went into a rebuilding phase. Management was right though and the rebuilt team has better balance and there's no way that the Indians can pay the kind of money for players that the Yankees and Red Sox can while still making a profit. For all the scorn heaped on the owners and Shapiro when the team started the rebuilding phase, the results have been good. Even if the Indians don't make the post season this year they've put out a very competitive team that wins and plays well. What more can you ask for as a baseball fan?
