The Cleveland Indians have been outright putrid the last few years, and their performance on the field has had a corresponding impact on ticket sales. Turns out no one wants to pay, even a little, to watch a bad baseball team.
Reports put the Tribe's season ticket base at just over 8,000, a number that is almost as embarrassing as Jhonny Peralta's range. Almost.
With no big-name free agents on the horizon, little to sell the public on, and the lowest attendance totals in the league, the Indians have resorted to throwing everything but a free striptease from Grady Sizemore at prospective season ticket buyers in the hopes of filling those empty seats at The Jake, and even that isn't out of the question yet.
