Kenny Lofton Named to Cleveland Indians Hall of Fame

The Cleveland Indians have announced that Kenny Lofton has been named to the teams Hall of Fame. The speedster was one of the key pieces to Indians AL pennant win in 1995.

"I'm at a loss for words when thinking about this honor as I'm so excited about being a part of Cleveland Indians history," Lofton said upon the announcement. "I never thought I would ever be a Hall of Famer of the Cleveland Indians. It's awesome."

Former Indians General Manager Cy Slapnicka was named into the "Cleveland Indians Distinguished Hall of Fame". Slapnicka was the Tribe's GM from 1935-1940 and helped find players such as Bob Lemon and Bob Feller.

Is it just me, or is it a slap in the face to Albert Belle who was the main cog in the Indians lineup that he hasn't been honored by his former team. The same thing can be said of former GM John Hart who helped take one of the most embarrassing franchises in the Major League's to constant contenders under his reign.
