RHP Chris Archer had a productive Tuesday morning, serving ice cream then serving up wisdom to about 50 kids in the Cleveland Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities program at the Baseball Heritage Museum at League Park. Archer said he especially likes helping out in Cleveland since he was originally drafted in 2006 by the Indians, then traded to the Cubs. "They're the organization that took a chance on me 10 years ago,'' he said. "They kicked me to the curb, but I'm never going to forget it, and anytime I can give back to the community here I try to do that.''
