As many of us may be aware, the Cleveland Indians did not have the season they were looking forward to. It was disappointing on a number of levels. Grady Sizemore was placed on the disabled list due to injury in the first month of play and the pitching was terrible. Quite honestly I didn't even watch many games over the summer. It isn't fun to watch when your favorite team goes from being one game away from the World Series in 2007 to almost last place a few years later. The Indians don't seem to like keeping talent around for long. Any time a pitcher gets good they trade him away for some unproven prospect. After the 2007 season we lost Cliff Lee, C.C. Sabathia, and Victor Martinez, and countless others. It makes me sick to think about it.
This year the Indians are trying to start off fresh with some fresh snow. As of November 26th the Indians have been holding "Snow Days" on the Progressive Field grounds. The event will continue till the New Year and it includes an ice rink as well as multiple lanes for tubing off of the bleachers. I think this is a great idea to get fans involved and get their minds off baseball. And who knows maybe when April comes around people will actually start coming to the games again. That is of course if they can find a winning formula.
