Cy Young in Cleveland

Sunday, October 5th, 2008


Cy Young started his baseball career with the Cleveland Spiders Aug. 6, 1890.

When Cliff Lee wins the Cy Young award it will be the second year in a row a Cleveland Pitcher won the award. Last year was CC Sabathia who was graced with the honor. CC was traded early in the season after running on empty.

Cliff Lee who would have returned to Arkansas had the tribe sent him back to the minors, turned out to be the natural.

Below are photos taken from dug out suite behind home plate during Lee’s 22 consecutive win, at Progressive Field.

So we are in Germany, Heidenhiem was awesome, totally cool.
But two feet of snow kept us in Cleveland for an extra day or so. So we only got one day in Heidenhiem and we made something of it. Carl Zeiss Optics, great place, they gave us some optics to play with…

We leave Heidenhiem and go to Berlin, I am scared. I dont scare easily. It was something in the air. The guy at the door of the club had barb wire tattooed on his face. Once i was inside, it was sex on the walls, and they danced all french which was amusing for me. The Germans in Berlin aren’t Munchens thats for sure.

To make a long story short, Siemens was Wharton, thank you Whipple, Smart Car Mercedes, three course meal and all. The company was fashion similar to shanghai (does anyone know how to pronounce shanghai or beijing)
