Wow! I was looking over the Cleveland Indians roster here on opening day at “Progressive Field,” and I noticed something:
None of the players are older than me!!! This makes me a grouchy old veteran fan, I guess.
The only one who even comes close is:
Masahide Kobayashi
Born: 05/24/1974
Birthplace: Yamanashi, Japan
Height: 6′ 0″ Weight: 195
Bats: Right
Throws: Right
College: Nippon Sport Science
MLB Debut: 04/02/2008
I’m older by about three months.
I grew up watching this team, through the dread of the ’80s failures of course.
Whew, we sure had some zeroes on the roster back then.
-echh!
Well, the Cavs blew it. Boston marches on. We won’t have to hear from them in a while. My favorite aspect of yesterday’s game was Joe Tate and his commentary. The Tribe also blew it, swept in the Queen City by the Reds. Inter-league games are strange. Commentary from the “Voice of the Cleveland Indians” TOM HAMILTON was also enjoyable. During Sunday’s game he described the slack-jawed chant of Reds fans as ” Reds fans showing their intelligence.” Subtle but nasty!
Anyways, the Cavs are done for now. It is time to watch the Indians, hoping they “get it together” as it were.
I will be attending May 23rd’s game at “Progressive Field” when they take on the Texas Rangers.
Untill then, I will be enjoying the nightmare that is quiting smoking.
By the gods!!!!!!!!!! Make the pain go away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
