John Adams (drummer)

John Adams (born 1951) works on computer systems for AT&T, but is better known as a dedicated fan of the Cleveland Indians. He plays a bass drum during Indians games at Progressive Field. Adams originally started to drum at Cleveland Stadium on August 24, 1973, when the Indians played the Texas Rangers. Cleveland won, 11-5. Ever since, Adams has sat in the highest bleacher seat in left center field with his bass drum, and has only missed 34 games in subsequent years. [Caldwell, Dave.
