Latest Poll Finds Cleveland Indians Most Hated Professional Baseball Team in Cleveland Area

The famously passionate baseball fans of Cleveland aren't very fond of their cross-state rivals, the Cincinnati Reds, but according to a poll conducted last week, what they really hate are the Cleveland Indians. Of the two thousand Cleveland residents surveyed, roughly 100% indicated that the MLB team they most disliked was the Indians, with the Reds and the New York Yankees coming in a distant second and third, respectively. Said local meatpacker Earl Kryzkowski, "As a baseball lover growing up in Cleveland in the 70s, the 'Big Red Machine" was like my worst nightmare, and I have always felt very strongly that the Yankees suck. But for sheer stomach-turning disgust, no team can hold a candle to the Cleveland Indians--God, I hate them!"
