Amidst one of the most emotional weeks in Cleveland Indians' Baseball history, the fans, yet again, prove why Cleveland sports fans are the best in the world.
I'm not going to rehash the events of this week.
Disappointing, sad, maddening, unbelievable, mind boggling come to mind as just a few adjectives to describe fans' wave of emotions.
Through it all, almost 5,000 fans WALKED UP to the gate tonight to buy tickets for the Indians' game....and there were nearly 33,000 folks on hand.
Yes, I was there. I may be very upset with the management team, but I will never give up on my boys, ever.
One saving grace was having a familiar and friendly face on hand to help us through. Sandy Alomar, Jr. came back into town to be inducted into the Cleveland Indians Hall of Fame along with Wes Ferrell, Bill Veeck, and Dick Jacobs.
Sandy.
He should still be in the Cleveland Indians' organization, and hopefully one day, he will again.
The fans gave him a rousing round of applause every time his name was mentioned, when he made the trek from the Indians' bullpen to the pitchers' mound and then when he made the ride in a convertible greeting the faithful fans.
It was sooooo good to see an old friend in the midst of a week when we lost too many good ole comrades.
The Indians front office should be bending over backwards for the best fans in the world. When will they realize just what they have before it is too late?
Thank you, Sandy, for helping us through this ugly turn of events and please come back soon!
