The hatch is ON in Cleveland!

I was at a playoff game in Cleveland against the Yankees in 2007 when the midges hatched and descended on the stadium. In the bottom of the 8th inning, the midges completely unnerved the Yankees and Cleveland tied the game. It’s still the most exciting game I’ve ever attended.

The midges hatch on the lake one week each October, and they are prolific. The clouds of midges even show up on the weather radar.
