The Resume
Resides in the Cleveland Ohio area
Telephone company employee
Cleveland Indian fan who bangs a bass drum at every home game
Drummed at Municipal Stadium (1973-93)
Drummed at Jacob Fields (1994- )
Why he might be annoying
He roots for a team who's nickname is consider offensive among native americans.
When Municipal Stadium removed seats that fans banged on during rallies, he missed hearing the sound.
He purchases the cheapest bass drum he could find, it cost less than $30.
He is still using the same drum he purchase back in 1973, despite being crack and repaired many times. He changes mallets a few times a year.
Although he bangs a drum mindlessly during rallies, he claims: 'It isn't just a crowd that stands around and screams, any idiot can do that. Cleveland fans know the game.'
The drum is extraordinarily loud.
His wife, Kathleen, wears headphones when she sits next to him at the game.
He brought his drum to an Indian game in Oakland (1995).
He wanted to see Fenway, but it was closed. He saw a beer delivery truck parked outside and snuck in as though he was a delivery guy.
A woman wrote to a Cleveland newspaper that they should get rid of him. The paper answered back saying 'How do you fire a guy who works for free?'
He sits in the worst seats in the stadium.
He moved from the right field bleachers in Municipal to the left field bleachers at the Jake.
In his over thirty years of attending games, he has yet to see the Indians win a world series.
He proves it takes no talent to be a drummer.
Why he might not be annoying
He purchases three tickets to every game, on for himself, one for his wife and the other for the drum.
He said of his fellow Indian fans 'There's a long-suffering crowd here.'
He and his drum are part of the baseball record of 455 consecutive sell outs at the Jake.
He comes to almost every game no matter what the weather.
Through July 2001, in twenty-eight years, he had only missed 15 games (all middle of the week day games).
Movies such as 'Major Leagues,' had a guy banging a bass drum to emulate him.
He is a volunteer. He instructs people on how to teach the handicapped.
