Cleveland Indians Look Good at Spring Training
While the Cleveland Cavaliers continue their reign of terror on the basketball court, the Indians are making a strong showing during the Spring Training games in baseball. Sports are a strong aspect of most of the nation’s major cities, and the residents of cities such as Cleveland take great pride in their teams and are very supportive. Of course when most of your professional sports teams are demonstrating top of the line potential and season winding down results, it is extremely easy to show your support. And while the out of town guests in the luxury hotels of Cleveland may be aware of their city’s winning teams, they are likely not as enthusiastic as the residents themselves.
And most of the players on the great sports team are also prone to becoming local and sometimes national celebrities. Of course players that are strongly associated with specific teams, such as Barry Bonds and the San Francisco Giants, he may be famous across the nation, but he is most loved by his hometown and regional supporters. The rest of the country certainly knows who he is, but greats sports stars tend to generate a love or hate response and this is typically based on which team the play for.
The Cleveland Indians , though they are still in Spring Training, look like they have a solid season ahead of them. Pitcher Justin Masterson is just one of the players on the team who is getting some attention. He first joined the Indians, after having been traded by the Red Sox, in 2009 and the young relief pitcher is showing his skills and potential early. He did the same thing while he was with the Red Sox and became the first pitcher since the year 1912, almost a hundred years ago, to make his first four starts winning ones and have them take place in Fenway Park. And while this might not have meant much to Cleveland fans two years ago, it demonstrates high hopes for their new team member.
