AUDIO Kenny Lofton Reflecting On Tribe Memories

Despite the fact that there was no baseball being played today former Cleveland Indian outfielder Kenny Lofton brought a ray of sunshine to the booth as he joined Jasen Sokol and Sam Bourquin to talk about the season.

When asked about what the Indians are looking to do in 2016, Kenny said it all comes down to the guys taking the hill every fifth day.

"Pitching is going to be key for this team," Lofton said. "They've shown last year they can do it, and now this year, hopefully they can keep that pace going."
 
Kenny was a key part of the Indians' stretch of winning seasons in the 90's, and was scheduled to be a part of the Tribe's Opening Day festivities.
 
Lofton explained that when he played, he had the usual jitters when the season started, but he says its just part of the territory for all baseball players.
 
"The closer I get to the stadium, the butterflies and the jitters go away, and when I step on the field, it all goes away," Kenny said. "Some guys let that (Opening Day pageantry) get to them, but I didn't."
 

Lofton played for the Indians from 1992-96, 1998-01, and spent one last season with the Tribe in 2007. The Tribe will take the field tomorrow at 1:10pm Tuesday on 1590 WAKR.
