CLEVELAND, Ohio -- LeBron James is all in for the Indians as they get set to face the Red Sox in an American League Division Series tonight.

Oh, sorry, wrong slogan. James, like the Indians, is calling for Cleveland to #RallyTogether.

Either way, James is getting into the Tribe's first ALDS appearance since 2007 in a big way. He's Instagramming pictures of his camo Indians hat, retweeting the Indians' tweets, and plans to be at Progressive Field in the flesh for Game 2 Friday afternoon.

"I can't make it (Thursday night for Game 1) -- my wife got an event tomorrow that I gotta be there for but I plan on going on Friday," James said.

Yes, at one time James was a Yankees fan. Maybe he still is -- the Red Sox are New York's archrival, so he'd be pulling for the Indians in this series anyway.

But James' affinity for the local baseball team has definitely grown. He's got an Indians jersey with his name on the back, and was at The Prog on Aug. 20 when the Tribe stunned the Toronto Blue Jays with back-to-back homers in the ninth to win that game in a walk-off.

And coming off an NBA championship -- the city's first in major pro sports since 1964 -- James sent a Tweet after the Indians' win that reverberated through the clubhouse.

It said, in part: #TheyreNext.

James isn't the only one feeling the good vibes. The Cavaliers played a video during Wednesday's preseason opener, with James Jones, Mike Dunleavy, Chris Andersen and Richard Jefferson joining James in wishing the Tribe good luck.
