“It’s a really, really, really big deal," said Jay Ryan, a self-described “astronomy nerd” and eclipse educator.
The Guardians have started their home openers in recent years with a 4:10 p.m. first pitch.
The Guardians, who start on an 11-game trip, are expected to announce their decision on the opener in coming days.
In 2007, their first four games in Cleveland were snowed out from April 6-9, forcing the team to play its “home” opener in Milwaukee.
Maybe the eclipse could be a sign of something bigger on the way in Cleveland, which hasn't celebrated a World Series title since 1948.
