In 2007, as the Indians were battling the Yankees in the ALDS, it was well documented that LeBron James, star of the Cleveland Caveliers and an Ohio native was seated in the stands at Progressive Field rocking a Yankees hat. Turns out James is a huge fan of the team. So much so, he even designed a shoe to pay tribute to the Bombers.
Well things didn’t turn out so well for the Yanks, as they fell to the Tribe in four games. But it seems they aren’t holding any grudges against him as they turned out to cheer on the Cavs to a 112-102 victory over the Magic which forced a game six.
Chief among the Bombers in attendance were slugger Alex Rodriguez and pitchers CC Sabathia and Mariano Rivera.
The Yankees were in town a day early to being a four game set with the suddenly red hot Tribe beginning on Friday.

UPDATE: Looks like Joba Chamberlain was also in attendance. Along with rapper Jay-Z, Cleveland Browns Joe Thomas and the Pittsburgh Steelers Ben Roethlisberger. Gee Ben has been at a lot of sporting events lately. In amazing seats may I add. My kind of guy!
