Cleveland Indians

Since 1869, baseball fans wearing Cleveland Indians t-shirts have steadfastly supported their team. Even through the team’s forty managers, fourteen general managers, and sixteen owners, fans proudly don their Cleveland Indians hats to cheer them on. Games have been played in Cleveland at League Park, Municipal Stadium, and Jacobs Field with mascot Chief Wahoo.

Memorable events include shortstop Ray Chapman fatally struck by Yankees pitcher Carl Mays in 1920. The Indians won the World Series that year against the Brooklyn Dodgers. In 1936 seventeen year old pitcher Bob Feller’s fastball set a record seventeen strikeouts in a single game. In 1947 Larry Doby and Satchel Paige from the Negro League were signed in 1947 and 1948. Paige was the first black pitcher.

Indians fans are the most supportive fans in baseball, proudly displaying their Cleveland Indians jerseys at every game. Dedicated fans persistently attend games in their Cleveland Indians apparel to encourage the team, even during a slump from 1960 to 1993. The team’s first divisional title win in 1995 was enjoyed by fans sporting their Cleveland Indians jackets. From 1995 to 2001, a record breaking 455 home games were sold out to dedicated Cleveland Indians merchandise-wearing fans. Number 455 was dedicated to the fans in 2001. Indians fans wear Cleveland Indians sweatshirts as a show of unconditional support for their home town team.
