Day 2 is in the books. On to Pittsburgh.

Had a great time in Cleveland.  Don’t believe what people tell you; this is a fun town and fun place to visit.  Won’t get to the Rock & Roll HOF on this trip but will be coming back again.  Good place.

Boys wanted to sit in left field, what they call the “mini Green Monster”. Not the greatest seats, but that’s where they wanted to sit.

Saw Yasiel Puig’s debut with the Indians (big dude!) and our second gem in two days, this one from Gerrit Cole (7.0 IP, 4H, 1 ER, 3K).  Thank you, Houston, for beating the Tribe!

There is definitely a bunch of kids at the game that are on their way to Cooperstown as well.  We ran into a family from Farmington and saw a group from Iowa headed that way.  Can’t get to Cooperstown from the Midwest without going through Cleveland, I guess.

Had a great experience at the ballpark.  They have definitely updated since I was last there in late 90’s.  Must have had at least 10 different local brew stands and every type of food under the sun.

The key to the day was Shirley, in the picture here.   Upon arrival, seeing my Twins hat, she asked if we were from out of town.  She quickly told us to go get wrist band to watch an inning of the game from the former visitors bullpen.  Only 15 passes available per game.  Great spot to watch from:

Also showed us where Jim Thome hit a bomb.  611 ft.  Wow.

Thank you, Shirley!!

Finally, had a chance to see some of Cleveland’s finest fans.

A great time and the boys are ready to get moving to Pittsburgh!!
