Indians' Mike Freeman Has Correct Response to Most 'Cleveland Sports Fan' Story Possible
By Adam Weinrib

There's very little else on this earth like the fanaticism in Cleveland, Ohio.
And just because the world is shut down at the moment, and just because we're all required to follow the rules, does NOT mean that The Land has stopped being The Land, even without the sporting events that fuel the city's migration.
Take this story from what should've been Opening Day, for instance, which shows Cleveland at its best -- kindly, abiding by the statutes, but not letting their Tribe out of sight.

My brother went for a run & saw 2 old timers on what would have been Opening Day decked out in Tribe gear sitting (an appropriate distance!) on a bench behind Sokolowski’s drinking Miller Lites, eating peanuts, and just staring at Jacobs Field.
Truly, there's nothing like the buffet at Sokolowski's, nor is there a midwestern view that, for my money, matches the look you get at Progressive Field (sorry, Cleveland, The Jake is just a memory) from up on the hill, past the pit, and over the bridge.
In case you're wondering how the team's players feel about the city they serve, Mike Freeman confirmed just how special it is to toil in front of these folks who know ALL about hard work.
You love to play for fans like these #OurTribe pic.twitter.com/9VzwsuK6We

He gets it.
While Clevelanders have to stay socially distant for now, I'm positive those Ballpark Mustard bottles could squeeze six feet across, if you tried hard enough.
Let's get this solved by football season, though -- there's no way to keep the Muni Lot appropriately sanitary.
