CLEVELAND -- In Progressive Field's Terrace Club on Sunday afternoon was a Thanksgiving gathering larger than any to be found in an American household this Thursday.
The Indians served roughly 375 individuals from five local charities -- Our Lady of the Wayside, Shoes and Clothes for Kids, Boys and Girls Clubs of Cleveland, OhioGuidestone and The City Mission -- in their fifth annual Thanksgiving meal.
Members of the front office -- including team chairman/CEO Paul Dolan, president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti and general manager Mike Chernoff -- served food and drinks directly to the attendants.
"It's part of what we think is our duty as a Cleveland institution that stands for a lot more than just baseball," Dolan said.
