The Cleveland Guardians have advanced to their first American League Championship Series since 2016.
After winning the American League Central with a record of 92 wins and 69 losses, the Guardians defeated their division rival Detroit Tigers in the American League Division Series.
Monday will mark the start of the ALCS as the Guardians will take on the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium.
Guardians player David Fry recently spoke highly of Cleveland sports fans.
“It’s so cool to see how much they love their sports teams, especially during football season, all the Brownie stuff,” Fry said.

Fry explains that just walking around Cleveland, you can see how many people are wearing Cleveland sports gear, especially the Browns during football season.
He goes on to express that the atmosphere at their home games against the Tigers in the ALDS was electric.
Fry also notes that Guardians fans know their baseball.
In the first postseason series of his career, Fry had 4 hits in 16 at-bats with 1 home run, 5 runs batted in, 3 runs scored, 1 stolen base, 1 walk, and 6 strikeouts.
Game 1 against the Yankees will begin on Monday, and Fry will act as the designated hitter and bat 2nd in the batting order.
The Guardians will look to keep up their timely hitting against a Yankees lineup that can put up runs in bunches.
