VIDEO: Cleveland Indians enjoy rain delay with slip-and-slide on infield tarp
The Cleveland Indians and Arizona Diamondbacks were rained out on Tuesday night, but that didn't stop some players from the home side from having a good time.
With the tarp down on the infield and the surface soaking wet, Mike Aviles, Lonnie Chisenhall and Jason Kipnis decided to fire up the old slip-and-slide, a lovable baseball tradition:
That looks like a blast. Every cloud, silver lining, and all that.

The postponed game will be made up on Wednesday as part of a traditional doubleheader on Wednesday, with the first game starting at 4:05 p.m. ET. That's also pretty awesome.
