First MLB game I ever went to was at old Cleveland Stadium to see the Indians play against the Seattle Mariners back in 1988 when some young dude name Ken Griffey Jr. was just getting his swing right.....
Guardians.....Indians....
They literally took the "In" out and replaced it with "Guar"....
The name will grow on me. Haven't been to Cleveland in years. Never knew about the Guardian Statues, but it is cool that the team decided on something local to represent the team.
Would have cool with Spiders, or even Cleveland Baseball Club.
