CLEVELAND, Ohio -- In the name of Karl Pagel, who was your favorite Cleveland Indians player?
That's right, Karl Pagel ... not Mike Pagel.
Mike Pagel was the Cleveland Browns quarterback. Karl Pagel -- nickname of PONGO -- was with the Indians briefly when I covered them for The Plain Dealer in the early 1980s.
The PD's Ginger Christ and I talk about our favorite players in this video.
There are some big names -- Omar Vizquel and Rocky Colavito.
But there are some strange ones, too.
Including one pitcher who disappeared in Alaska and used to put dead rodents in his teammates lockers.
