The Indians made her cry. They had a 3-1 lead in the series and let it slip away. Never apologize for your team. The Indians made her cry. They had a 3-1 lead in the series and let it slip away.

Strawberry Swing was just randomly selected on my iTunes playlist and I would like to thank you for introducing me to such a beautiful song. Prior to hearing this song I had written off Coldplay for any number of reasons. Thanks.

So what if it was an exhibition game? If Fosse wasn't giving up a corner of the plate, Pete was gonna run him down. Hey, man, Pete just did what he had to do. So what if it was an exhibition game?

Those other guys mentioned all had some class when they played for the Indians. I guess that's what always turned me off about Belle. The people of Cleveland tolerated him like the people in San Fran tolerated Barry Bonds. The minute Belle left town, there was a huge sigh of relief from fans because the fear of getting a bat thrown at you had diminished by about 100%.<br><br>Many people in Cleveland still despise Rose for stunting the career of catcher Ray Fosse.
