Wednesday, August 9 I went to Progressive Field to watch the Indians lose in twelve innings to the Colorado Rockies, 3-2. There wasn’t, to most people, much about the game that was particularly remarkable, I imagine. It was a well-pitched and played game, we saw a few dingers, a little bit of late inning drama, and that was that. One game out of a hundred and sixty two.
However, it was a very big deal and it was very remarkable to me. You see, the Indians, out of all my collegiate and professional teams that I cheer for, are my favorite, and it would mean more to me if they won it all than it would any other franchise.
