The past few days have been ridiculous -- ridiculously busy, ridiculously emotional, etc. One of the more fun things that we did was go to the Cleveland Indians game yesterday. It was the last home game of the season.
We had great tickets for the game, having gotten them weeks and weeks ago. Little did we know that it would be the game where the Indians would clinch the AL Central Division Title -- something they haven't done since that legendary team regularly won them in the 1995-2001 era.
We have gone to two games in the past week, and I'm starting to get that feeling that I had when I first moved to Cleveland. I didn't grow up in a city that had a major league baseball team, so I never really got into it. But when I moved to Cleveland in the mid-90's, it was really exciting to go to Indians games. I used to buy upper deck tickets from scalpers (remember, the entire season would be sold out in a few days) and then just stand on the home run porch the whole game. Or, I'd buy tickets to the bleachers section, and get to the park hours before the game for the chance to catch fly balls during batting practice. Those were the days.
