His favorite airplane is the 747 and his favorite Indians player is Jason Kipnis. By 2015 I was already bringing him to Indians away games. At 5 years old today he knows every airplane type and the Indians starting lineup. In 2014 I took my son to his first ballgame. The Jake was on fire that night, the atmosphere was just like the 90s again. Later that year I watched Salazar try to win the Wild Card game, but the Indians bats didn’t show up that night.
When he looked up and saw the base he was shocked and exclaimed, “I thought you were kidding, you really do have second base!!!” I called to get winning pitcher Justin Masterson’s attention after the game by saying that I had stolen second base from the game. Running onto the field in the top of the 7th… It was by far my coolest use of miles ever. Later that year I got to steal 2nd base in middle of an Indians game thanks to 25K United miles. In 2013 I drove with my brother JJ and my grandfather to the NFL, MLB, and NBA hall of fame and then finished the trip by watching Tito’s Indians beat up on the Red Sox from the front row of the Green Monster. Nobody younger than him can even remember it. I was there when when the Cavs got swept out of the Finals in 2007, though my grandfather and I left a few minutes early when he told me how his dad and him left just before watching the Giants sweep the Indians in 1954.īut he went to World Series games in 1948 as a 9 year old, the last time the Indians won it all. I had World Series tickets in 2007 that lay unused thanks to Boston coming back from being down 3-1. I cried when they lost it in game 7 in 1997 despite there being no crying in baseball. Earlier that year I got nearly whole team’s autograph (Belle and Murray were the holdouts) when we stayed in the Westin Harbour Castle Toronto where the Tribe was staying. Our kids have flown on over 100 flights thanks to the mileage game!Īs a 5th generation Clevelander on both my mother’s and father’s side I’m a die-hard Cleveland sports fan.Īs a 90s kid I sent in hundreds of postcards and won tickets to watch the ’95 World Series. Other times it’s worked out better, like when I used miles to buy out an entire first class cabin to Brazil.

Sometimes it’s been crazy, like when I took advantage of a glitch for free first class tickets to Buenos Aires that required leaving the house in less than an hour.
