Ideastream sports commentator Terry Pluto reflects on why the Guardians’ home opener continues to sell out and feel more like a Cleveland-wide celebration than just the start of a season.

Following a historic run to another American League Central Division title, the Guardians are again relying mostly on internal options to help a struggling offense.

Cleveland's team batting average was .226 in 2025, the lowest in franchise history. Quality pitching and a hot September at the plate erased a MLB record 15.5 game deficit to Detroit for their second straight division crown, but the Guardians fell to those Tigers in the first round of the playoffs.
