Cleveland Indians and the self-proclaimed "King of Pop" don't seem quite as natural as peanut butter and chocolate. But it was certainly appropriate tonight. After an amazing game
between the Indians and A's, the Cleveland Indians changed, at the last minute, their "Rocken Blast" fireworks show to a more timely tribute to Michael Jackson who passed away recently. Beginning with Slider, the Indians mascot, doing the moon walk with a white sequin glove on his left hand, and ending with a fire works finality, the Indians honored the "King of Pop" with a lot of pop and circumstances. That capped off a night where the Indians beat the A's 15 to 3. The MVP of the game was Shin-Soo Choo who in addition to a two-run homer had for hits and seven RBIs. Travis Hafner contributed a solo homer, making all in our party happy, since we are all Hafner "groupies". When the A's took a 2 to 0 lead after the second inning on two solo h
ome runs, we were all wondering if the only fireworks we would see tonight were going to be after the game. However, I "worry" didn't last long as the Tribe batted around in the 4th and added five more in the fifth, thanks in part to a two-run double by Cabrera and a three-run homer by Choo. The fire works had now begun and the ones after the game were even more amazing.
