Why they might be annoying:

    They taunt opponents by beating tom-toms.
    Many of them wept openly when the Indians lost the 1997 World Series to the Florida Marlins.
    Some chanted obscene remarks about opposing pitcher David Wells' mother after she had just died.
    Their mascot Chief Wahoo upsets Native Americans.
    When entering Jacob's Field, they are met with a mammoth symbol of Chief Wahoo.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They hold the record for most consecutive sell outs at 455. That is more than twice their nearest competitor, The Colorado Rockies (1955-2001).
    Chief Wahoo was picked as the team mascot to honor Louis Francis Sockalexus a penobscot Indian (who was the first Native American to play baseball - 1915).
    The fans selected the previous nickname, Indians, also to honor Sockalexus.
    They were the first to have a former player become their baseball announcer, Jack Graney (1932-54).
    They have stuck with their team despite some of the most embarrassing seasons in baseball history.
    They were shown at their best in the movie 'Major League.'
    They enjoy a scenic view of downtown Cleveland at the stadium.
    They like calling their stadium the Jake, giving it a more intimate feel.
