Cleveland Guardians Tickets

Cleveland Guardians Tickets

No matter what those poor, misguided, foolish Cincinnati Reds fans may say, there’s only one real MLB franchise in Ohio: the Cleveland Guardians. Accept no imitations: the Guardians are the real deal – just look at the Ohio Cup and you can clearly see who deserves to be on top. Not bad for a team that started its life in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Of course, good luck to you if you want to snag cheap Guardians tickets for the next Guardians-Reds matchup. Ohio Baseball fans are nothing if not passionate, and this legendary rivalry means you’re gonna be hard-pressed to find any tickets at all. That’s because the Guardians are hot with some major franchise record-breakers in recent seasons, including a return to the World Series and a new AL record for the longest winning streak. Can the Reds do that? Don’t ask, they’re too busy eating crow.

Early History not so Spotless

While the Guardians are on everyone’s minds right now – making it difficult to find cheap Guardians tickets, by the way – it wasn’t always so. Their early history was erratic, to say the least. The team arrived in Cleveland in 1900 and battled their way to a 1920 World Series win, even as the MLB was reeling in the wake of the Black Sox scandal the year before. Sadly, it would be another 28 years before the performance of the 1920s Guardians would be seen again – the same year the Guardians broke the color barrier by recruiting the legendary Satchel Paige from the Negro League.

The Guardians would take the World Series in 1948, much to Cleveland’s pride, but again the years afterward would be a series of near misses. The Guardians won the pennant in 1953 but the championship was ultimately out of reach, despite the franchise’s status as a powerhouse team. Then, another major slump took hold of the team: from 1960 to 1993, Cleveland would spend almost every year circling the toilet bowl in the standings – much to the delight of Reds fans everywhere.

Back in the Saddle

Things started looking up in 1994 when the Guardians began playing in their brand new home at Jacobs Field. Cleveland delivered another pennant win in 1995 – finally – though they fell to the Atlanta Braves in the end. The rest of the decade saw the team performing like the contenders everyone knew they were.

Thus, the new era of the Guardians was born: one of the most powerful competitors in the MLB but stymied consistently in the postseason despite making it to the ALDS, ALCS, and World Series again and again. Most teams would give up and go home, but Cleveland doesn’t back down. They’ll crack that nut again, and when they do, there won’t be a dry eye in the house – we’re sure of it.
