Guardians Solar Eclipse Baseball

Officials are estimating 200,000 visitors will descend upon Cleveland April 8, 2024, to view a total solar eclipse — a once-in-generations event. The Cleveland Guardians baseball team has their home opener the same day. The Guardians have started their home openers in recent years with a 4:10 p.m. first pitch. This year, though, that falls in the partial-eclipse window. The team is weighing whether to embrace the eclipse and open the ballpark earlier to allow fans to watch the eclipse together — an opening act on opening day. (AP Photo/Natacha Pisarenko)

CLEVELAND (AP) — Talk about high drama.

By the time the first pitch is thrown at the Cleveland Guardians' home opener on April 8 at Progressive Field, fans will have seen something more unusual than a no-hitter, more rare than a perfect game and astronomically more exciting than an unassisted triple play.

It will be truly an out of this world moment.

At 3:13 p.m. EDT, Cleveland will experience a total solar eclipse — a once-in-generations event — for the first time since 1806, 13 years before the birth of Abner Doubleday, the Civil War hero some have credited with inventing baseball.
