Indians Aim to Break American League Attendance Record
Cleveland Indians president Bill Veeck targets surpassing the 1946 AL attendance record of 2,265,512 set by the New York Yankees. A robust winter sales drive has pushed season-ticket sales to about 2,500 locals and 200,000 individual seats, with Veeck predicting a bumper year aided by fireworks, carnival atmosphere, and star pitcher Bob Feller.
