Three questions to get some conversation going:
1) Who is your favorite or least favorite Indian of all time and why?
2) What is your most memorable Indian moment? (trade, game, play, etc)
3) Why is the Tribe your favorite team?
Thanks

1. Favorite Indian of all time. Gotta be the Rock... We never should have traded Rocky Colavito away for anything... He would have been the face of the franchise but for that idiot Frank Lane. 2. Most memorable Indian moment. Bobby Bonds hitting an upper deck Grand Slam at the Stadium before a very large crowd to pull the Indians to victory in a game I recall as being against the Mariners... being at Eck's no-hitter... catching Dick Bosman's no-hitter on the radio.... leaving to go to Len Barker's Perfect Game and deciding en route its too cold & windy :eek: ... taking my GF to a chick flick instead :eek: (Alan Alda "The Four Seasons"):eek: :eek: :eek: and coming out to hear the postgame wrap-up on the radio.... heavy sigh : ( seeing Harmon Killebrew pole a pair of deep upper deck shots against us... seeing Yaz go over the fence to rob Rico Carty of a CF HR. Seeing Henry Aaron play in 1975. I have a million more, will list the best if anyone wants to read them. 3. I am a Tribe fan because I am a Cleveland native, of course and lived and died with them from the mid sixties until the mid eighties when I moved to California.
My favorite Indian that I ever saw was Kenny Lofton. He was electric for a short time. Travis Hafner is special too. My all-time is Addie Joss. Such a great pitcher with a tragic ending.
I remember seeing wild, rocket-armed RF Cory Snider while trying to throw out a runner at home, launch one nearly out of the stadium.
My favorite Indian team was the 1994 version. I predicted they would win the AL East. The first time I ever predicted a Cleveland Indian team to win anything.

LOL, what did he yell at you about?I entirely deserved it, I was only about twenty at the time. Someone hit a ball over near us in batting practice, Rick came over & got it & we asked him for it. He said he promised it to someone else. Later someone else hits another one over by us and I mockingly said, "You promised us". He went on about how it made him look bad in front of kids and he was right. Later in BP he came out and tossed one up to me. Total class :clapping :applaud:

1. Tris Speaker or Cy Young
2. Trader Lane making the disastrous Colavito trade ( it's the most memorable, but it is not a good memory).
2a. Herb Score getting hit in the eye with a drive off Gil MacDougald's bat.
3. Well, obviously they are not, but I wish them well.
