Opening Day for the Cleveland Guardians is just around the corner, and avid fans can expect to see some new things this season at Progressive Field.

As the Cleveland Guardians play their 2025 home opener, April 8 marks 50 years since Frank Robinson debuted as MLB's first Black manager.

Let’s rewind 28 months, to when the Guardians dealt Jones to the Colorado Rockies for infield prospect Juan Brito. They coveted Brito, as evidenced by the fact that they had to stick him on their 40-man roster even though he was in A-ball. They were willing to reserve a spot for a player several years away from the majors.

The Guardians, finally back in Cleveland for the home opener after weeks on the road to start the season, had a special guest to usher in the season at Progressive Field.

WKYC, a TEGNA owned NBC affiliate, and the Cleveland Guardians are proud to announce an exciting expansion of their 20-year partnership, reinforcing their commitment to providing fans with unparalleled access to the team and supporting the local community.
