Maybe you’ve only heard about the Cleveland Guardians in passing. Maybe you caught a glimpse of Terry Francona whizzing down Carnegie Ave. on his bright red scooter. Or maybe you’ve only seen a picture of José Ramírez in reference to a goat and were left confused.
No matter how much you know or don’t know about the Guardians, I’m here to tell you that now is the time for you to become a fan of the baseball team that plays off of Lake Erie and whose name at least partially gets its inspiration from giant, 100-year-old statues of traffic gods, some of whom appear to be holding Tonka trucks.
