- Cleveland has just became to the first American
League team to hit 200 home runs in three, four and five consecutive
years! 2000 is once again, the year of the "Long Ball."
- Long Ball Lane?
- In the spring of 1997, well after Albert
Belle had departed the Cleveland scene, a group of loyal fans got
together with the idea to come up for replacement name for the now
vacated Albert's Alley. At the same time, Cleveland sports radio
station WKNR went public with a search for a new name for Albert's
Alley. A young hard-core sports fan named Chris Perry suggested
the name "Long Ball Lane." AGS picked up on this great
idea, and sent them a "Long Ball Ln." sign like the one
above, and the rest is as they say history. A tradition was born.
- "Long Ball Ln." caught on so fast,
that within days WKNR was receiving letters addressed to "Long
Ball Ln." Surely the US Mail Service would never knowingly
deliver mail to a wrong address, even the US Government was recognizing
the street the fans had claimed. The Legend Grows!
- Today "Long Ball Ln." signs can
be seen in some of the most unusual
places, signed they are treasured by fans
of all ages and walks of life. You can buy the signs in various
establishments and Web sites. Our plan, set aside some of the profits
to benefit youth baseball programs in Cuyahoga County. "Long
Ball Ln." is doing something Albert's Alley never did, raise
money for kids.
- This is a catalog of some of the items AGS
sells with the "Long Ball Ln." street sign on it, and
some of other exciting items for the REAL HARDCORE CLEVELAND BASEBALL
FAN, that already has everything, and now is in need something cool
to wear.
- For more information feel free to call AGS
at 1.216.228.7223, and ask for street maintenance.
