Indians fans put discarded beer cans to best possible use

As wonderful as baseball can be, sometimes the action on the field can be overshadowed by those who make up its audience.

That was the case on Friday in Cleveland, as a group of fans seated near the right-field foul pole stole the show with an epic creation.

Behold, the beer-can pyramid, which many are also dubbing the beeramid.

According to the folks at SB Nation, the pyramid included 112 cans and stood over four feet tall at its peak.

As for who consumed all of that beer, that we don't know. What we do know though is that Friday night was $2 beer night at Progressive Field, so it's safe to assume fans were indulging a little heavier than they normally would at the ballpark.

It also means the beeramid cost $224 to construct. Under normal circumstances, the tab would have been $448, as the Indians charge only $4.00 a beer to begin with. That's the second cheapest beer price in the entire league.

Unfortunately for those fans, they didn't have a lot to cheer for at Progressive Field aside from their own creativity. The Indians would go on to lose the game 6-4 to the Baltimore Orioles, failing to capitalize on an opportunity to draw even with the Chicago White Sox for first place in the AL Central.

However, it could be considered an early celebration for the Cleveland Cavaliers, as Lebron James and company clinched their second straight trip to the NBA Finals.

Any way you look at it though, those fans have to be considered the winners of the night in Cleveland.
