We’re the Vernon Wells Hecklers – By Jeff Raycher
Posted by: Jeff Raycher in 2007 MLB, Hecklers
To preface this story, it should be noted that the tickets my buddy Tom and I got for the fateful game were tickets that we traded in from the cancelled Indians 2007 home opener, which took place on a blizzard-like afternoon on April 6, 2007. Pics of Tom and I from that game (which never existed) are attached. Another memory that we’ll not soon forget.
Tom and I are both from the Cleveland area and are die-hard Tribe fans. We can both frequently be seen at Jacobs Field, sitting in the bleachers, and digging into whomever is playing center field for the Tribe’s opponent that day.
That Wednesday night (5/2/07) was a chilly night by the lake, but the excitement of 2007 Tribe baseball was keeping us warm. There was a slim turnout to root on the Tribe for their 8th series win in their first 9 series of the season. The hometown fans in the center field bleachers were pulling hard for their team. But my friend Tom and I also had another agenda; getting into the head of Vernon Wells, Toronto’s center fielder.
