Indians Desperately Try to Get Justin Bieber to Come Hang Out in Latest Shane Bieber Tweet

Why is it so hard for them to get this final mission accomplished?

After seven innings of one-run ball in Anaheim last night, Shane Bieber got some help from his club in trying to recruit a certain pop star to stop by the ballpark. You know, a pop star who already rocks the starter's jersey from time to time.

Tagging him three times might be a little much, but credit to them for their persistence. It is possible to get the singer to Anaheim (or Cleveland), because he has certainly shown interest.

Last month, Shane Bieber pointed out a mistake by Topps (unless it was just a good joke), and his Canadian counterpart expressed his affection. Later in the month, the Ontario native rode around Los Angeles in some interesting attire, thanks to his newfound buddy.

Cleveland is not exactly a hotbed for celebrity fans, but hey, they got LeBron to switch his fandom.

Now, this is also a bit tricky because of Bieber's fandom. First off, his hometown of London, Ontario is about the halfway point between Detroit and Toronto, though about 10 minutes closer by car to Canada's largest city. Cleveland is more than twice as far from London by car as Detroit and Toronto are.

Also, Bieber has been spotted sporting gear of a few different teams: Tigers, Blue Jays, Yankees, Rangers, and Giants, and he once threw out the first pitch at a White Sox game. It never really goes well for the team he's repping, either; Bieber's, like, a mini-Drake, in that regard.

As it stands, the Indians are a half game back of the A's for the second Wild Card and five back of the Twins for the division, so a celebrity push would be quite nice. Maybe not Biebs', though.
