Adams, who manned his perch in the bleachers at Municipal Stadium and Progressive Field for nearly 50 years, died after battling multiple health problems. Rest in peace.
, Adams said before the 2021 home opener, “What keeps anybody a fan? I’ve loved the game since I was a little kid. How do you explain how you fall in love with something? You just do. That’s what happened to me.”
At the induction, the Guardians said Adams had pounded his drum at more than 3,700 Cleveland home games. Adams was just the 12th person to be honored with a place in the team’s Distinquished Hall of Fame. The team commissioned local sculptor Dave Demming to create a bronzed replica drum affixed to Adams’ actual Progressive Field bleacher bench.“I missed it a bunch,” he said. “I really did miss being there. I’ve met people from all over the world. Now everything is virtual.
Adams never wavered in his support for the Indians and Guardians. When Peter Bavasi, former team president, threatened to close the bleachers at Municipal Stadium in 1984, Adams told a reporter, “Guys like Bavasi come and go. This is my team.” While many of the current Guardians players never played with Adams providing the backbeat of a game, Sandy Alomar spent 11 years playing for the Indians with the sound of Adams’ bass drum echoing throughout Municipal Stadium and Progressive Field. Not to mention the 13 years he served as an Cleveland coach.
