Guardians turn home opener pregame into 2024 solar eclipse viewing party Boston 25 News [Video]

Baseball is typically the main attraction at Cleveland’s Progressive Field. But on Monday, with a total solar eclipse moving across North America – including 15 U.S. states, parts of Mexico and eastern Canada – the moon blocking the sun provided the main event for millions of people.

The Cleveland Guardians moved the start of their home game versus the Chicago White Sox on Monday to allow fans to watch the eclipse and not let the natural phenomenon interfere with the play on the field. Besides, the players were just as excited to watch the eclipse as fans and media, which was demonstrated by some excellent photos and videos from the scene.

Pittsburgh Pirates and Detroit Tigers players were also seen checking out the eclipse during pregame warmups.
