The Cleveland Indians' front office "feels good about the long-term," said Bob Dibiasio, senior vice president of public affairs for the ball club, at the Tuesday, May 13 meeting. Dibiasio was on hand to talk about the upcoming season and what The Indians have to expect from the season.
"We feel really good about who we are," he went on. "Leadership is so vitally important, and we feel good about our leadership." He added that a lot of that faith in the team stems from the fact that there are 16 to 17 players signed through the next four years, which lend a stable base to the organization.
While the Indians maintain a stable base of players, they have added a few perks to make the ballpark a little more family-accessible. Among them are increasing the number of $1 dog nights, and loading $15 on the ticket of every child under 14 that comes the gates. The credit can be used at participating vendors and gift shops.
The Boardman Rotary Club was one of three organizations and one individual honored for "doing the most good" at the Salvation Army Annual Civic Dinner on Wednesday, May 14. President Jay Summer received the Distinguished Community Service Award on behalf of the club.
