The 2009 Schedule: Matchups, Promotions, And Dates To Mark

The Indians play the Royals 18 times.   If the past means anything, they will lose eight of those games.  The Tribe has eight dates with the New York Yankees, traditionally we win about 60% of the time vs The Yankees since realignment took place.

So there you have it, the best promotional dates, mark your calender so you can get to Progressive Field and catch The Indians live!
