Cleveland people sure seem easily "afraided"




When I am at the park and that happens, I just imagine that it is a Harry Potter broom stick and the fear immediately dissipates.*

*Got hit with a hockey puck at a game a few years ago so still working on proper "risk avoidance" techniques for that sport. I was mistakenly imagining it to be a bullet (which it practically was) but now I have switched over to a marshmallow. So far, so good!

Looks like my fellow 'tribesmen' are jockeying for a good position to catch that there bat.

Axemanohio,

We travel from Detroit to Cleveland to catch one Tribe game a yaer. Sometimes against the Tigers; sometimes against someone else.

Last year we were there in August when the Tribe swept the Tigers and my 8 year old wore his Tigers jersey as usual. We were sitting in the left field foul territory right next to the ball boy. We could touch him. My boy said "We will get a ball for sure" knowing that the ballboy usually hands a stray foul ball to the nearest kid. I looked at his jersey and said "No, you won't". He didn't. A few other kids sitting nearby wearing Indians jerseys did though!

Not mad. It's just the way it is.
