I sat in Municipal stadium through the cold, snow, sleet, wind, the down years, when we set the modern day baseball low attendance record. We sat in the West End zone section 146. I remember Red Right 88 in one of the coldest games I've ever sat through. The Drive, the Fumble, the Catch, Nagy's Glove, Jose Fukking Mesa, The Shot, The Decision, The Move, my family endured it all. My dad's life was centered around sports. He sat through the resurgence in 95/97 but too bad he didn't live long enough to see the Cav's bring home a title this year.
Yep, I live in Texas but you never forget your first love. I could divorce my wife, leave my family and kids but I can never lose my love for Cleveland.
