?Guys don?t want to come over here and people wonder why,? Indians closer Chris Perez told the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram after Saturday?s defeat of the Marlins, attended by just over 29,000 fans.
?Why doesn?t Carlos Beltran want to come over here? Well, because of that. That?s part of it. It doesn?t go unnoticed?trust us. That?s definitely a huge reason. ??You had a choice of playing in St. Louis where you get 40,000 (fans) like Beltran chose to do, or you can come to Cleveland. ? That?s just how it is.?
The first-place Tribe rank dead last in attendance in the major leagues, averaging only 15,518 per game. Things seem to be getting a little better, but not at as quickly as one would expect in a big sports town.
Perez?s comments were brash and he didn?t apologize for them Sunday, but he is attempting to atone for the harshness with a system on Twitter that will put a small dent in the club?s poor gate draw:
He asked a little personal trivia for the tickets to Sunday?s game: ?What is my favorite movie??
The answer: ?Back To The Future.? The first three people to reply correctly got two tickets.
