Tribe eyeing Cape Coral

Cleveland Indians evaluating Cape Coral for spring training site

Imagine Coco Crisp and Victor Martinez hanging at Rumrunners, Mark Shapiro wheeling and dealing from Martinis Bar or C.C. Sabathia holding court with his crooked hat at the Leapin’Lizard…….this just might be reality if the Cleveland Indians decide to make Cape Coral their spring training home.

Two Cleveland Indians team officials were in Cape Coral on Monday scouting the city’s potential as a spring-training site.

City officials gave them a tour of the city, but there are no deals offered or made at this point, City Manager Terry Stewart said.”

It’s like any business; they are going to do what’s best for the business. We’re going to do what’s best for Cape Coral,” Stewart said.

If the Indians do come to the Cape, can we begin to contemplate a team in Lehigh……never mind.
