That team relied on Powell and Frank Robinson to supply all the three run homers.  It was mostly about defense and pitching and since that was a crazy pitching dominated era that was a sound strategy.

Though Paul Blair was the only decent fielding outfielder.

I may try to go to an Indians game this season.  Of all the stadiums I've been to thus far, I've never seen a baseball game in Cleveland
I'll be going July 22nd, 23rd, and 24th (O's twice, Tigers once).  It's a nice stadium, though my experience is a bit limited.  Be sure to swing by Your Dad's Beer for some amusing throwback options that are cheap for a stadium.

Just purely out of curiosity, do you know what other dates The Tribe ticket vouchers are good for?

So it's pretty much the whole season?  Sweet.  For my, I mean my kids', Reds Heads vouchers, the dates are very limited.

Might be worth joining The Tribe just for the tickets.

and I didn't want to bandwagon onto a popular team, so I narrowed it down to two teams in need of fans: the Tigers and the Royals.

Why not the Braves?  :lol:

The Braves bandwagon was already quite full when BA made his fandom choice. The Braves had tons of fans in the 1990s due to their success and their national cable tv presence on TBS.

The Braves don't have that many fans, being a mid-sized market in football country. Even during their string of division winning seasons they rarely sold out.

I'm Cards fan simply because it's the closest team.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Whether or not they sell out their home games, the Braves pretty much own the South.  Their market is huge.

People assume I'm from St. Louis when I tell them I'm a Cards fan.  I was a Reds fan until age 11, when I switched allegiances after having seen the Cards play so many times in Cincy.  Plus I had bandwagoned a bit with the '82 team that won the Series.  My first trip to St. Louis in 1986 pretty much sealed the deal.

But I still get strange looks from people who think I should be a Reds fan.  Especially these days with all the bad blood between the Reds and Cards.

Carlos Beltran is a friggin' stud.  Through the first three innings vs. Pittsburgh he's 3 for 3 with 2 HR and 7 RBI.  Cards are up 12-1.

Pittsburgh :lol:
