11 Reasons To Love The Indians And Progressive Field

Home run! Everyone knows the song take me out to the ball game. But do you know the reasons why you should go to the ball game? For one baseball is the best sport ever. Have you ever heard or seen a bat crack? Or tasted the delicious stadium food? Not only are baseball games in general a must, attending a Cleveland Indians game is an even bigger must.

1. Sugardale Dollar Dog Night

Hot dogs and baseball games are like peanut butter and jelly. They work together perfectly. And just for a buck? I'll take two!

2. Ketchup Mustard And Onion

Typically occurring after the fifth inning of the game, Sugardale's own ketchup, mustard and onion race to the finish line. What condiment are you betting on? I vote mustard!

3. Good ole Slider

Slider is the Cleveland Indians mascot. Slider was born July 29, 1990 and has been supporting the tribe ever since!

4. Fireworks

Why wait until Fourth of July weekend to see fireworks when Progressive Field has the best ones in town! Firework nights began as early as May this year!

5. Party at Napoli's

We have all seen the tee shirts floating around but do we really know the significance behind it? The short story is when it comes to humor, the Cleveland Indians have the best fans and the best players. Here's what happened: A fan, Nate Crowe, brought this awesome sign to an Indian's Game, with the implication being, if the Indian's won or played well, the party would be at first-baseman Mike Napoli's house. Crowe then proceeded to make a shirt with "Party at Napoli's" as a logo and sent it to Napoli. After a walk off game, Crowe spotted Napoli wearing the shirt! Crowe did not wait to start producing more tee shirts. With the help of 108 stitches he was able to do just that, and he even landed a spot in the stadium's team shop! What's the best part of Party at Napoli's? All the proceeds go directly to Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital. And this just in, Napoli has decided to even add a "Party at Napoli's" logo to his bat!

6. "Hang on Sloopy"

Also known as Ohio's official rock song, "Hang on Sloopy" is sung with a special rendition (O-H-I-O) at all home tribe games!

7. Does John Adams Ring a Bell? No, he Plays the Drum!

John Adams is the cool guy who plays his drum during intense moments of Indians home games. Adams has attended nearly every home game since 1973!

8. The Best Stadium Food Around

The real question is what is Progressive Field missing? Some of the great dining options available to Tribe Fans include, Melt, Sweet Moses Ice Cream, Barrio, The Corner Bar, Dynomite Burger, Great Lakes Brewing Co., and so much more! What can I say us Clevelanders know how to eat!

9. Sell Outs

While we may not sellout every game right now, we still deserve bragging rights, yeah? The Cleveland Indians hold second place for most consecutive sellout games in major league baseball at Progressive Field (June 12, 1995 to April 2, 2001).

10. The Fans

No explanation needed here. Our fans are no doubt the best in all of Major League Baseball.

11. The District

The best seat for anyone 21 and older! These ticket's are great for kicking it back with your friends and enjoying a great game! Bonus points if you stack your cups into a pyramid.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
