I am so excited and honored to join an organization with the tradition and history of the Cincinnati Reds," Francona said in a statement. "I only played one season for the Reds in 1987 but in that season, I learned that Cincinnati is a great baseball city. I want to thank Bob Castellini, Nick Krall, and Brad

Mets Hire Former 1st Round Draft Pick as Bench Coach

While he was a former 1st round draft pick back in the 1980 draft, John Gibbons made a name for himself as a manager/coach. Ironically, his first coaching gig was with the Mets, as well. Ten years after being drafted by the Metropolitans, Gibbons got his first taste of coaching during the 1990 campaign. However, he’s undoubtedly known for his stints with the Toronto Blue Jays when he was…

Famous people that are Guardians fans:

Kid Cudi

Kid Cudi was born and raised and still living in Cleveland and he considers himself a superfan. Hosted a game at Progressive Field this past season. Has been seen wearing Guardians caps on many occasions including in the music video for "King Wizard". Pictured is Kid Cudi with Triston McKenzie, Xzavion Curry and Tanner Bibee; throwing a first pitch; and performing in a Guardians cap.

Stephanie Beatriz

Stephanie became a fan through her relationship with her husband Brad Hoss, who is from Ohio. Has supported and rooted for the team for years. Played for Cleveland at the 2019 celebrity allstar softball game. Pictured is Stephanie playing alongside baseball legend Kenny Lofton, and with her child at Progressive Field (picture quality is terrible on that one I'm sorry)

Vanessa Bayer

Vanessa grew up near Cleveland and has come back on occasion, including to throw the first pitch on father's day 2023. Pictured is Vanessa on that day, and her and her father meeting Tom Hamilton.

Drew Carey

Drew is a proud and loyal Clevelander and lifelong fan of all Cleveland sports. Has thrown several first pitches over the past three decades. Also played in the 2019 celebrity softball game. Had a sitcom called "The Drew Carey Show" which featured "Cleveland Rocks" as it's theme song (that song still plays at the end of every home game). Pictured is Drew and Mimi (a character on the show) fighting over a home run ball that she caught, Drew photobombing Mustard, and playing at the softball game.

Arsenio Hall

Arsenio (like almost everyone else on this list!) is from Cleveland and a longtime fan. Says many of his favorite childhood memories involved going to baseball games. Was featured in the documentary "Believeland" where he spoke about these memories. Pictured is Arsenio wearing a Guardians cap, and at the premiere of Believeland.

Michael Stanley

Michael lived his whole life in Cleveland and was one of the city's most beloved children. Wrote the song "My Town" which he performed at the unveiling of the new ballpark (then Jacobs Field - now Progressive Field). Spent a lot of time at that park and even bought a season ticket during the pandemic so his cardboard cutout could attend every game. Pictured is Michael performing at the Rock'n'Blast game 2007, and posing in the team dugout.

Travis Kelce

Travis is of course also from Cleveland and a big supporter of the team. Threw the (hilariously wild) first pitch at the 2023 home opener. I want to assume that his (also famous) brother Jason is a fan too but couldn't find any proof! Pictured is that aforementioned pitch, and Travis in the dugout with Terry Francona and Shane Bieber.

Tom Hanks

Tom was perhaps the only MAJOR celebrity to publicly root for us during the 2016 world series. Threw the first pitch at the 2022 home opener. Not from Cleveland but started his career here at Great Lakes Theater and attended many games during that time. Pictured is Tom with Larry Doby Jr., and in the recording booth with Rick Manning and Matt Underwood.
