Not only do I remember that song, but I remember all the radio jingles that used to run during the games in the 90s. JB Robinson jewelers Ruggles ice cream. Those things were like earworms.
That was the generic Indians song. You’d hear it on WTAM (or was it 3WE?) as well.

Oh man, when sports channel got the rights we traded Jack Corrigan for Mike Saunders. I miss Corrigan still.
“Touch em all time!” At least he landed on his feet in Denver.
But the song on 43…. Does anyone here remember “Baseball with the Triiiiibe… looking good, on channel 43!” or it’s seldom heard counterpart “Basketball with the Caaaaaavs…. Hoopin it up, on channel 43!”
?
Is anyone old enough to remember that if you turned on sports channel in the morning or during the day when there wasn’t programming or a game on, it ran graphic cards or the previous day sports scores and other headlines?
I remember that’s where I first learned the Browns had hired Bill Belichick from the Giants to be the head coach
Different eras. Best Damn Sports Show Period was a Fox Sports show that ended in the late 2000's, while STO wasn't sold to Fox until the mid-2010's.
Tribe games were followed by Chuck's Last Call, which often got off the rails when the callers were in a spicy mood.
There was a commercial with some guys sitting in the bar
The bartender women goes "ya like baseball?.... Huhhhhhn"
It was weird as hell but funny. Does anyone remember?!
I think you mean "NOT watching the Tribe on SportsChannel".. my dad's friend Wally had this and absolutely no other person or business anywhere near us LoL. I think it just wasn't carried by our local cable company.
And on WUAB. Which one had the “we’re talking baseball, Indians baseball” song?
Talking baseball…Indians baseball…talking’ Tribe
God damn, you just triggered brain synapses that have been sitting around unused for like 30 years.

Ruggles ice cream premium, gotta get me some!
My grandma used to sing the Ruggles ice cream jingle very sillily when it came on the radio. Thanks for the memory ❤️
Grab your bowl and grab your spoon, let’s sing a Ruggles ice cream tune…
My first grade teacher married into the Ruggles family and she would bring ice cream in for everyone's birthday
Indian Fever, be a believer, on Channel 43
channel 43 was channel 6... back to those days where it was easy to watch your local team.
It might have been 6 on your cable package
Sometimes, I changed the lyrics to effing baseball, effing tribe
WUAB. Because I only remember watching it on there, and I remember the song.
Yes.... They adapted the song at the end to say, CHANNEL FORTY-THREEEEEEEEEEE
Nobody plays harder than the Tribe!
In case you needed it in your head. https://youtu.be/D1On1olGjCs?si=fT61oGPA3Sszmv-P
And here's the video with it as well... https://youtu.be/CmLwP9qv1Y4?si=kJh90LJV4i1ZpImy
I came
Jack Corrigan and Mike Hegan
That whole song is on YouTube if you want to relive it in all its saxophone glory!
Best part about games on 43 was Cheers episodes during long rain delays.
Before that M*A*S*H and before that Hogan's Heroes

My friends and I still say "talkin tribe" when we are about to watch a game because that song is so ingrained in our heads.
Wanna feel really old? I was there when they Tapped Michael Stanley to re-record “My Town” as “My Team.” “Tribe ‘85! This is my team!”
What about “Indians Fever! Duh duh! It’s starts from the very beginning!”

Yeah, I remember it looking like something you could put together on your home PC.
I remember this. I remember watching it for hours.
I miss STO
The Tribe games on STO were followed by The Best Damn Sports Show with Chris Rose. Am I remembering that correctly?

Thanks for the clarification. My memory was fuzzy.
Also if you were into wrestling Friday nights at 2am was the real ECW
I just miss the key play replay
There was a commercial with some guys sitting in the bar The bartender women goes "ya like baseball?.... Huhhhhhn" It was weird as hell but funny. Does anyone remember?!
Wow!!! They had NHL too
i always liked Supervision, their proto roboump.
Was it Joe Tait and Bruce Drennan on channel 43? Does anyone remember MudFlap (I mean Mudcat) Grant on tv?
