And a special thanks to Kluber for the two  Cy Young seasons and great time in Cleveland. 

But a bigger thanks to  Tito Francona  for everything he's done in his time as the Cleveland GUARDIANS  manager.

Next step,  MLB  HOF probably  near unanimous pick there.  

Took Boston all the way could Cleveland be next with this YOUNG team +1 years of valuable experience  added  to the  TEAM ?           

reminds me of the ESPN 30 for 30 film Four Days in October regarding Francona and the Red Sox miracle

But a bigger thanks to  Tito Francona  for everything he's done in his time as the Cleveland INDIANS/ GUARDIANS  manager.

Next step,  MLB  HOF probably  near unanimous pick there.

YESS!!

Oh  YEAH.....baby !    Whew take another  BIG   deep breath.  Another  champagne  and beer locker room BLAST !

A  VERY important  Sunday off to get ready for  the  $$$ NYY  in  NY.   

GO GUARDIANS,   you can do it.....baby.   The youngest  team in  MLB   -and-   still won a Wild Card Series !     

I may have uttered a few adult words and/or phrases when JRam struck out and Naylor grounded into a double play to wipe out bases loaded, no one out, bottom of the 6th rally. 

SERIES  Best of  3 -  CLEVELAND   1   TAMPA   0.         Oh yes  !

Nice start by the Cleveland GUARDIANS   !    1    -  0    OH  YEAH..... baby  !    

Check it out. 

Game 162 - It's finally here the last game of a fantastic year.   Your thoughts are welcome. ♥︎

I had a doctor's appointment today,  normally home at 3:30 didn't get home until 5:30 already  CLE  5-1  through  3.

....  CLE  8-2  top 8.  Looking so good,  KC has surrendered,  time to finish it out in style.  12,923 and about  1.2 million for the year.  A very interesting and rain filled season.  

....  CLE. 9-2  final.   92-70,  let the playoffs begin.

See you then.   Good evening everyone.      

No way. 

For those who don't know who they are:

Game 161 -  KC in CLE.   Lynch  versus  Quantrill. 

■~~~~>   >~~~~>   Game   5 of 6 is on now.  Go Guardians  !   Finish it our right.

....  CLE   5-1   bottom  6.   playing small ball  +  plus a 2R HR.   Nice job.   

....  CLE   5-1   top 9.   This is it, getting close to (91-70).   Important stuff in Cleveland baseball lore. 

Another thing, this is a learning experience on closing games out.  Keep your mind in the game.  2 outs.    Clase  SV (42), more Cleveland baseball history.

.... ◆.....   CLE   5-3   FINAL.  91-70  and one to go in this 2022 Guardians journey.

See you Wednesday for the last game of this season.   Good  evening everyone.     

Game 160 of 162 -  KC in CLE  at 6:10 pm.  Lynch  versus  McKenzie. 

■~~~~>    >~~~~>   Game  3 of 6 is  on now !     -GO GUARDIANS-  

....  1-1   2-2   right through  9.   Well I watched  the game to the end.  But no computer.  McKenzie was great but the Guardians could not get that key run tonight.  A little sloppy defense too.

....x....   KC  5-2  in 10.   A 3R HR in the top of the 10th sealed the deal.  CLE  (90-70)  two more left.

See you all  Tuesday 6:10 and Wednesday 4:10  to finish the season.   Good night everyone.    

I will be able to see the last two games  before checking into the hospital for Thursday and Friday  and hopefully home by Friday evening.   just tests.  No great TV in that place !  I always take a radio, my tablet  and my cell phone.    

.....  edit add, if I see the next two games that will put me at  games watched/ listened to  160 - 2  missed.  Good year for it,  huh  !

Pic #2: The sign at the top of the LF bleachers, where John Adams sat. A bronze statue of his drum will be put there soon.

Pic #3: I took this pic from our seats in the bleachers of the restaurant that has been at Jacobs/Progressive Field since it opened in 1994. With the new set of renovations starting when the season ends, it will be eventually removed. Thought I would get a photo of it before it is gone.

Pic #4: GUARDIANS WIN!

I read that Pluto story on FB, surprised it wasnt behind a paywall! - great story!

Hope he recovers and is healthy strong for 2023 so he can get to 4000 games  and 50 years! 

I'd love that, but from the few articles I've read on Adams, I think his days as our faithful drummer are probably over.
