Honored to take the mound once again—this time at Progressive Field in Cleveland—for my seventh ceremonial first pitch, alongside the @cleguardians. Moments like these never lose their meaning, and I’m grateful for every opportunity to combine America’s pastime with causes that matter. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to stand on some of baseball’s most iconic fields, each experience representing far more than a game. Every invitation has been an opportunity to shine a light on philanthropy, community, and creating opportunities for others. The journey began at Fenway Park with the @redsox, followed by unforgettable stops with the @whitesox in Chicago, the @twins in Minnesota, and the legendary @cardinals in St. Louis. My fifth ceremonial pitch came in Philadelphia with the @phillies, and last season I had the privilege of throwing my sixth first pitch at Nationals Park with the @nationals. Now, Cleveland marks a new chapter. Standing on the mound at Progressive Field, home of the Guardians, serves as another reminder that sports have the power to unite communities and amplify important causes. Whether it’s supporting underserved youth, advancing education, expanding access to housing, or investing in health initiatives, every city and every stadium have helped further a mission that extends well beyond the baseball diamond. Seven first pitches. Seven major league cities. One unwavering commitment to making a difference. I’m deeply thankful to every MLB organization that has welcomed me over the years and to the countless people behind the scenes who believe that baseball can be a platform for impact. The journey continues, and I remain convinced that sometimes a single pitch can represent something much bigger than the game itself. #DanielNeiditch #ClevelandGuardians #FirstPitch #MLB #ProgressiveField #GivingBack #Philanthropy #CommunityLeadership #BaseballWithPurpose #Guardians #Cleveland #MakingAnImpact #7thFirstPitch

The Guardians edged the Tigers 3-2 on Friday night at Progressive Field behind a sharp start from Tanner Bibee. Cleveland's right-hander went 7.0 innings, allowed just 2 hits and 2 earned runs, and struck out 8 to set the tone. The Guardians finished with a 9-2 edge in hits, and the go-ahead run in the sixth held up after Hunter Gaddis and Cade Smith combined for two scoreless innings out of the bullpen. Detroit stayed close despite only 2 hits, but Cleveland's pitching made the difference late. Tight AL Central baseball all night. #MLB #Guardians #ClevelandGuardians #Tigers #DetroitTigers #ProgressiveField #Baseball #ALCentral

Here's a #photo of Cody Bellinger of the New York #Yankees during the #MLB #PrideNight #baseball game against the Cleveland #Guardians at #ProgressiveField in #Cleveland, #Ohio on June 8, 2026 (from the new gallery at Paparazzo Photography dot com).

The Yankees defeated the Guardians 3-2 on Tuesday night at Progressive Field, taking control with a go-ahead run in the 8th and letting the bullpen finish the job. New York managed 8 hits, while Cleveland had 10 but couldn’t find the late RBI they needed. Gerrit Cole went 4.0 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 4 K before the relief group took over. The difference-maker was Fernando Cruz: 1.2 scoreless innings, 0 hits, 4 strikeouts. Slade Cecconi kept Cleveland in it with 5.0 IP, 2 ER, 7 K, but the Yankees made one more key play late. Tight game, big bullpen performance, and a series tone-setter for New York. #MLB #Yankees #Guardians #NewYorkYankees #ClevelandGuardians #Baseball #ProgressiveField

Hey @CleGuardians , how much are these seats behind home plate where you have to look through a small tinted window and hope the home plate umpire doesn’t block you? @realbenmcdonald @masnOrioles @kevinnbrown #Birdland #ProgressiveField

Ain’t it a beaut, Mr. Feller? We really do have quite the beautiful ballpark💜⚾️ #ProgressiveField

If Year 1 was a dream, Year 2 is a dream come true all over again. We are beyond humbled to see the Gunselman’s Guardian Burger featured at Terrace Hall for another season alongside some of Cleveland’s most legendary restaurants. ​To every single fan who grabbed a burger, tagged us in a photo, or cheered us on last season—THANK YOU. You’re the reason we’re back. When we bought Gunselman’s, we wanted to create something special for this city, and there is no better feeling than seeing our name in lights at the stadium we’ve visited as fans our entire lives. Let’s keep the energy high and the wins coming. ​Let’s go Guards! Just win, baby! ​#GunselmansTavern #Year2 #ClevelandGuardians #ProgressiveField #TerraceHall #TheGuardianBurger #ClevelandOriginals #JustWinBaby
