Are you a TRUE Tribe fan?

Question

I'm sick of all these east-coast fans calling out the Tribe fans as bandwagoners... when most of us have been there through thick and thin.

So - here's 10 Qs that any true-blue Tribe fan should be able to answer... have a try at it.

1. Name the Tribe's 2 Cy-Young candidates
2. Finish the phrase.... "O-H..." (not so much baseball... but Tribe fans should still know)
3. Name the 2 starting Sox players who are former Indian outfielders
4. Finish the phrase "We're talkin' baseball..."
5. Name our closer from the 1995 WS
6. Who is our GM?
7. What's our mascot's name?
8. Name our 2 managers before our current manager, Eric Wedge.
9. What's the '07 tradition (at least from the regular season) the Tribe has at at the end of a win, involving the star player?
10. Who's "Jacob's Field" named after?

It'd be fun to see you mention another Tribe fun-fact just to put the cherry on top.

Go Tribe!

Just a little fun fact:

Finally, it's your team that sucks!
