Cleveland Guardians Era Officially Begins: A New Chapter in Baseball History
Cleveland's baseball team has officially rebranded as the Guardians, marking a historic transition for the franchise. The team store at Progressive Field now features new Guardians merchandise, and all social media handles have been updated to reflect the change.
The organization released a commemorative video narrated by Tom Hamilton, the voice of the team, highlighting memorable moments in franchise history, including:
- The iconic Rajai Davis home run in Game 7 of the 2016 World Series
- Francisco Lindor's grand slam in the 2017 ALDS Game 2
- Countless comeback rallies that demonstrated Cleveland's resilient spirit
- Cherished memories of fans' first games at both the old stadium and Progressive Field
The team will continue playing at Progressive Field through 2036 under their current lease agreement, with plans to further upgrade the stadium's already premium facilities.
This new chapter preserves the team's deep connection to Cleveland while embracing a fresh identity that honors the city's architectural heritage and resilient character. As the franchise moves forward as the Guardians, the essence remains unchanged - it's always been Cleveland.
