The eclipse was the thing — the Sox were the guests — for the Guardians’ home opener.
It got dark in a hurry Monday afternoon at Progressive Field, where the White Sox were guests of the Guardians for their home opener.
While some players, but not all, stood in and outside the visitors and home dugouts a couple of hours before the Sox played the Guardians, a total eclipse in Cleveland made it daytime look like night.
Fans wearing special glasses watched in awe at this once in a lifetime spectacle. Players and coaches stood outside and watched as well.
Reliever Steven Wilson saw an eclipse in 2016 and was eagerly waiting to see this one. « I’m going to watch it, it’s going to be exciting, » he said.
