"In case you haven't noticed, and judging by the attendance you haven't, the Indians have managed to win a few ball games, and are threatening to climb out of the cellar." - Harry Doyle
Ah yes Major League, great film and I'd be upset that Harry Doyle (aka Bob Uecker) isn't really the Indians broadcaster, but one of my biggest influences in sports radio is the voice of Indians baseball, Tom Hamilton. Many a nights I listened to the Indians of the mid to late 90's on my radio with Tom Hamilton calling the game. The Indians were once my favorite AL team, but no more as they have dropped to second because the Tigers are closer and more affordable oh and I really like Jim Leyland, but that's for the next breakdown.
Team Breakdown
World Series wins: "Remember, fans, Tuesday is Die Hard Night. Free admission for anyone who was actually alive the last time the Indians won the pennant." - Harry Doyle

Least favorite: "Off Nagy's glove...Counsell scores and the Marlins win the World Series" the first of the unforgivable expansion team W.S. victories. That or Ten Cent Beer Night which reminds me that I forgot about Disco Demolition Night when I brokedown the White Sox
