The Cleveland Plain Dealer website is currently featuring excerpts from Terry Pluto's new book on the Browns and their fans. One of the excerpts mentions Abe Abraham, 'the man in the brown suit' who used to catch/retrieve kicks behind the goalposts at the closed end of the Stadium.

I vaguely remember Abe- he was a mini cult hero- but not an attention seeker. I've had some links and references to him but they never really fit any articles I was working on.  This seems like a nice opportunity to present them.

Note on Abe from the Indian Fever blog.

Here he is during a game- go to 9:45. He is just under the left side of the crossbar.

In this one, at 9:20, he's the guy running out toward the end zone, from the bottom of the screen.

I am interested in any memories you have of him.
