John Adams inducted into Cleveland Guardians Distinguished Hall of Fame

Long-time Cleveland fan and drummer John Adams has been inducted into the Guardians Distinguished Hall of Fame, the team announced Wednesday.

Adams is the 12th person to receive this honor, which is reserved for non-uniformed personnel. Traveling secretary Mike Seghi was inducted Aug. 19. Adams is celebrating 50 seasons supporting Cleveland baseball. Since 1973, Adams has attended more than 3,700 games, along with his drum that has become synonymous with a Cleveland rally.

Local sculptor David Deming has been commissioned to create a bronzed replica drum affixed to Adams' actual Progressive Field bleacher seat bench, which will be installed on the top level of Heritage Park. An Adams tribute video will be shown on the Progressive Field video board on Sept. 2 and Oct. 1.
