I was given the "nod" to do some decorating in our office. I decided to take full advantage of the opportunity.
I have been a fan of Cleveland sports teams the past few decades. Through the years I have also collected sports cards and memorabilia. I set aside cards from the Indians, Browns and Cavs. I would tell myself I was going to do something with them...well...I finally did something with them. This is dedicated to all of the Cleveland sports out there.

Do you know recognize who Beau Allred, Lloyd (World) B. Free or Chip Banks are?
Does the mention of Jerry Dybzinski, Tree Rollins or Hanford Dixon bring back any memories?
How about Len Barker, John Bagley or Don Cockroft...anything???
What about "Gentle" Ben Poquette, Joe Charboneau or Brian Sipe?
If you recognize even half of these names...well...please accept my apologies...you are a Cleveland sports fan.
Are there any Michael Jordan cards on the wall? No. How about Dan Marino? He isn't on the wall either. Derek Jeter...ummm...no.
You might wonder "Who made the cut to be included on the wall?" The requirements were simple...the players were in a Cleveland jersey OR the card contained a logo from one of the Cleveland sports teams. Most of the 1,000 plus cards are Indians players. There are some Brown and Cavs mixed in as well. There are original cards from the 1970s and on. There are also reprints of cards for some of the "Old School" Tribe.
The first picture captures the "mosaic" look of the wall:

All together now..."There is always next season."
