Cleveland Guardians' launch starts with store sign crashing to sidewalk

CLEVELAND (AP) _ A special opening day for the newly named Cleveland Guardians began with a bang.

Not the one they hoped for, either.

As fans were buying the first available Guardians merchandise on Friday as the team officially transitioned from Indians after 106 years, a sign installed outside the team store at Progressive Field broke free from its mount and crashed to the sidewalk.

"Well, that's an ominous sign,'' yelled one onlooker.

We love living here. We are life long Steelers fans but we have embraced the Browns and I love Baker Mayfield. We are graduates of the University of Pittsburgh but we always cheer for Ohio State especially when the play Penn State!
