Cleveland Guardians history
Cleveland's team traces back to 1896 and the Columbus Buckeyes, a minor league club in Ohio. It moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan, in the middle of 1899, then to Cleveland in 1900 as the Lake Shores. Cleveland was among the eight charter clubs when the American League went major in 1901. The franchise has since won 14 Central Division titles and six pennants.
Two World Series titles came in 1920 and 1948, and no team in the majors has gone longer since its last one. The current name honors the Guardians of Traffic, a set of eight 1932 Art Deco statues by Henry Hering on the Hope Memorial Bridge right next to the ballpark. Progressive Field, first called Jacobs Field, has been home since 1994.
