“It’s all because one day I decided to bring a drum to a game.” That’s how John Adams began his story. A baseball story. A fan’s story. And now, a story of courage and faith.
That’s how John Adams began his story. A baseball story. A fan’s story.As the Cleveland Guardians were marching to the Central Division title, Adams watched from his room at Fairview Park’s O’Neil Healthcare.
John Adams bangs the drum one last time as security guards clear the bleachers after the baseball game at the old Cleveland Stadium in 1993.On August 24, Guardians Vice President Curtis Danberg led a group from the team to O’Neil Healthcare Fairview Park to surprise Adams with some news. He became the 12th member of the team’s Distinguished Hall of Fame. A bronze statue of the drum and his bench from the left field bleachers will be enshrined at Heritage Park at Progress Field.
The old joke was a fan called the Cleveland front office and asked, “What time is today’s game?” The guy answering the phone said, “What time can you get here?” From August 24, 1973 until the end of 2019 season. Adams estimates he missed no more than one or two home games a season. Some years, he made them all. When it began, it wasn’t as if Adams was jumping on the band wagon – he was the leader of his own one-man band.
