Memories From Cleveland Stadium
First is Mark McGuire during his rookie season. First series in to play the Indians he hit either two or three home runs in the game. I can remember turning to my buddies and commenting "who does this guy think he is - Babe Ruth?"
The second would be Bo Jackson. In his first trip into Cleveland I can remember him swinging and missing with such great velocity / so hard that he almost fell down. I think he struck out the first three time up. In his last at bat he hit a screaming line drive that the Indians short stop jumped and just missed catching for an out. The ball was hit so hard it sailed over the left-center field fence for a home run.
