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. Since 1994, they have played at Progressive Field. The franchise originated in 1896 in the minor Western League. After playing four years in Columbus and Grand Rapids, the team relocated to Cleveland for the 1900 season as the Lake Shores, when the league, renamed the American League (AL), was still officially a minor league. One of the AL's eight charter franchises, the major league incarnation of the club began in Cleveland in 1901.
