"Slider" Scores Big At Seniors' Baseball Dance!

Area seniors were dressed in their Indians’ best for the annual “Indians’ Baseball Opener"l Party & Dance held at the Smallwood Center in April. Amid the music, chatter and laughter, the famous, lovable Cleveland Indians’ mascot, “Slider,” burst into the hall! The surprised and delighted crowd greeted him with big smiles and huge rounds of applause!. He danced and cavorted merrily through the room, stopping only to wiggle his famous belly and give hundreds of warm handshakes and hugs. He boogied and twirled as the cameras flashed, and cut a mean rug with the senior dancers. He performed with the Raisin’ Canes, led them in singing, “Take Me Out to the Ball Game,” and happily posed for the dozens of pictures everyone wanted with their furry pink friend. What a delightful surprise, and what a fun way to spend an April day, welcoming the 2016 Indians’ baseball season. Go, Slider!! Go, Tribe!
