Where else would the ball park be?	Program for the series - Cliff Lee was starting this night.
Outside of the Jake	The "seats" are the words "Who's on First"

Across the street is "Erie St Cemetery".. Hmmmm	The ball park helped revive the down town area. It was very nice.
Statue of Bob Feller - played his whole career with the Indians (1936 to 1956) Link to information http://www.bobfellermuseum.org/facts.html	Welcome sign...
Retired numbers...	Retired 455? 'The Jake' had 455 consecutive sold out games

My favorite part of the park - the "Batter's Eye".	If you want to get a souvenir before the game - this is the place to do it.
Yep - they've got real onions.	Game's about to start.
Visitor Line up	Home Line up
Let's play ball!!	Ichiro sharing a hello (or Konichiwa) with the catcher Victor Martinez
Ichiro at bat - he didn't have a very good night, though.
"Incoming!!!"	Aaron Boone at the plate.. he got a double on this occasion.
Baseball under the lights	Hmm - what's on TV?
SS Jhonny Peralta had a good night - including this home run!	Home Runs usually signal a time for a meeting.
Fans doing the wave	So, Cliff - do you like the wave or is it just annoying?
Indian's mascot - Slider. Not really sure what he is. May be a cousin of the Phanatic... Not nearly as entertaining, though.	They won this night (only night of the series they won!) They only shot off one little thing of fireworks, though .
Final Line	Players sharing high 5s.
Well, you are welcome!
