History of the Cleveland Guardians

The Cleveland Guardians are a professional baseball team based in Cleveland, Ohio. They are in the Central Division of Major League Baseball's American League.

1896–1946: Beginning to middle

The Columbus Buckeyes were founded in Ohio in 1896 and were part of the Western League.[1] In 1897 the team changed their name to the Columbus Senators.[2] In the middle of the 1899 season, the Senators made a swap with the Grand Rapids Furniture Makers of the Interstate League; the Columbus Senators would become the Grand Rapids Furniture Makers and play in the Western League, and the Grand Rapids Furniture Makers would become the Columbus Senators and play in the Interstate League.[3] Often confused with the Grand Rapids Rustlers

Excerpted from Till The End, a new autobiography of pitcher CC Sabathia.

I had outlasted 10 of the major league stadiums that existed when I was a rookie. Only Ichiro and Albert Pujols, among active players, had been around as many seasons as me. In a spring training game, I faced Daz Cameron – the son of Mike, my former Brewers teammate! I didn’t need any other reminders that I was really old in baseball terms, and that I had been in the big leagues a long time. I got one anyway that winter when the Yankees stunned everybody by hiring Aaron Boone as our new manager. Boonie had never managed or coached anywhere before — not officially, anyway.

The Yankees didn’t ask me, but I thought Boonie was a great choice.

We came into 2018 confident, especially after adding Stanton. And we

Disappointment from CC Sabathia’s Glenville High School no-show still lingers 20 years later: Justice B. Hill

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- I’m still troubled — 20 years later — about an event that didn’t happen, although it should have.

The late Gerald Moss, baseball coach at Glenville High School at the time, found out I was back in Cleveland and covering Major League Baseball for a fledgling website. I grew up with Coach Moss playing in sandlot ball, and he remained tied to the sport and our alma mater as its coach.

In a conversation with me, he thought how motivating it would be to have a big leaguer attend one of his practices. As a steadfast Tarblooder, I agreed.

So I decided to ask then-Cleveland pitcher CC Sabathia about coming to the East Side school to meet with its baseball team. Sabathia – who happened to be back in the city last month to promote his biography and to receive a lifetime achievement award from the Greater Cleveland Sports Awards -- jumped at the opportunity.

Somehow, administrators heard about his interest in visiting campus, and Coach Moss circle-backed and a
