Fun With media guides
Now, as everyone probably knows, I am quite skeptical of the Indians and their rebuilding process. Sadly, my fears were all but confirmed today when I read over the teams' media guide. In it, they have a picture of the 1954 team, which they refer to as "World Champions." Now, as any even semi-Indians fan can tell you, the team did NOT win the title in 1954, getting swept by Willie Mays and the New York Giants.
But the geniuses running the Indians, whose main job it is to look over stuff like this, can't even get it right.
Oh, and the front cover features Charles Nagy, Sandy Alomar, and Kenny Lofton, to mark the ten year anniversary of Jacobs Field. They are in black and white, while today's stars* are in color. It's as if they want us to think the glory days were during the Eisenhower administration, rather than four years ago, when all three played for the Indians. UGH. Good thing the Indians don't read this site, or I'd never get media passes to games.
