Getting your player ready...
The Cleveland Indians honored John Adams on Saturday for his 3,000th game of pounding a bass drum in the bleachers in support of the American League team. “I’m overwhelmed,” said Adams, 59, his voice choked with emotion. “I’ve got 3,000 memories of games, of special plays and special players.” Adams’ first game was Aug. 24, 1973. “I never intended to do this. Now I never intend to stop,” Adams said. “I just showed up one night, thought it was a cool thing to do. Then I came back again, and then again.” Adams claims he has missed only 37 games, no matter the weather, since 1994.
