Cleveland, OH -- The Cleveland Indians on Thursday announced that popular alumni Jim Thome, Omar Vizquel and Charles Nagy will appear at Tribe Fest, presented by KeyBank. The second annual event is scheduled for Saturday, January 25, and Sunday, January 26, at Progressive Field.
The trio joined forces during one of the organization's most successful runs, in the late 1990s, playing together on two World Series teams and multiple division champion teams.
Thome, Vizquel and Nagy join manager Terry Francona, current Tribe players including Nick Swisher, Jason Kipnis, Michael Bourn, Michael Brantley, Mike Aviles, Carlos Santana and others, Indians prospects, and other alumni including Kenny Lofton, in attendance for autographs, interviews on the KeyBank main stage and more.
In addition, more of Progressive Field will be open this year, including the Club Lounge, Kids Clubhouse and more. The Indians also plan to announce their 2014 promotions schedule on the KeyBank main stage during Saturday morning's session.
