Who can forget seeing Joba Chamberlain being swarmed and covered by bugs while trying to pitch in a 2007 playoff game between the Yankees and Indians?
Cleveland certainly hasn't forgotten. Shortly after signing the right-handed reliever to a minor-league contract on Tuesday, the team's official Twitter account apologized to its newest player for the grotesque event.
