Lone Indians Fan Spotted At Wrigley Field NLCS Game Lives In Wilmette

WILMETTE, IL - A Cleveland Indians fan who became an overnight sensation in Ohio after television cameras spotted him in the stands at Wrigley Field during the Chicago Cubs' NLCS Game 4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers completely decked out in Indians gear has been identified as a Loyola Academy senior who lives in Wilmette. Henry Haracz was the Tribe fan TBS cameras showed multiple times during Wednesday night's ballgame at the Friendly Confines.

Media in Cleveland, and even the Indians themselves, began looking to find outwho he was immediately. He identified himself on Twitter shortly after and was thanked by the Indians for his loyalty to the American League team that lost to the Cubs in the World Series last year.

"I hate the Cubs after the World Series last year," he told WKYC-TV in Cleveland. "So I said that if we are going to the game, I'm going to wear my Indians gear."

Haracz' allegiance to the Indians goes back several years. WKYC reported that his mother grew up in Cleveland.

While Haracz says he's disappointed that the Indians won't be back in the World Series this year, he's a little comforted by the fact that the Cubs won't be either.

Found him: Thanks for your support, @henryharacz! https://t.co/1ZU6I09nvJ
