CLEVELAND INDIANS BASEBALL
East of Ehlo dug into the archives back to 1999 to revisit every single occurrence in which the Browns either (a) surrendered the deciding score in the final seconds or (b) had a chance to tie or win a game in the final seconds and came up short. If it seems like it's happened at least 40 times, it's actually 39.
East of Ehlo takes a journey back through the evolution of the local sports jam, from the Browns' classic marching band anthem to the funk of "Come On Cavs" and the spunk of "Indian Fever." Not to mention some hokey Casio abominations and a whole lotta Michael Stanley and his Band!
Our UK bureau chief Murray Alexander makes his home in Edinburgh, Scotland, and has never set foot in Cleveland, let alone attended a Cavaliers game. As a diehard fan of the team and its returning hero, however, Murray offers a very unique perspective on just how far the King's empire reaches, and on how universally appealing his story truly is.
While some are content to simply bemoan the frustrating trend of the Indians' ever dwindling attendance numbers, East of Ehlo seeks to explain it-- diving deep into 9 categories of fan discouragement to determine whether the efforts of Tribe fans are truly unforgivable or understandable.
