Famous people that are Guardians fans:
Kid Cudi
Kid Cudi was born and raised and still living in Cleveland and he considers himself a superfan. Hosted a game at Progressive Field this past season. Has been seen wearing Guardians caps on many occasions including in the music video for "King Wizard". Pictured is Kid Cudi with Triston McKenzie, Xzavion Curry and Tanner Bibee; throwing a first pitch; and performing in a Guardians cap.
Stephanie Beatriz
Stephanie became a fan through her relationship with her husband Brad Hoss, who is from Ohio. Has supported and rooted for the team for years. Played for Cleveland at the 2019 celebrity allstar softball game. Pictured is Stephanie playing alongside baseball legend Kenny Lofton, and with her child at Progressive Field (picture quality is terrible on that one I'm sorry)
Vanessa Bayer
Vanessa grew up near Cleveland and has come back on occasion, including to throw the first pitch on father's day 2023. Pictured is Vanessa on that day, and her and her father meeting Tom Hamilton.
Drew Carey
Drew is a proud and loyal Clevelander and lifelong fan of all Cleveland sports. Has thrown several first pitches over the past three decades. Also played in the 2019 celebrity softball game. Had a sitcom called "The Drew Carey Show" which featured "Cleveland Rocks" as it's theme song (that song still plays at the end of every home game). Pictured is Drew and Mimi (a character on the show) fighting over a home run ball that she caught, Drew photobombing Mustard, and playing at the softball game.
Arsenio Hall
Arsenio (like almost everyone else on this list!) is from Cleveland and a longtime fan. Says many of his favorite childhood memories involved going to baseball games. Was featured in the documentary "Believeland" where he spoke about these memories. Pictured is Arsenio wearing a Guardians cap, and at the premiere of Believeland.
Michael Stanley
Michael lived his whole life in Cleveland and was one of the city's most beloved children. Wrote the song "My Town" which he performed at the unveiling of the new ballpark (then Jacobs Field - now Progressive Field). Spent a lot of time at that park and even bought a season ticket during the pandemic so his cardboard cutout could attend every game. Pictured is Michael performing at the Rock'n'Blast game 2007, and posing in the team dugout.
Travis Kelce
Travis is of course also from Cleveland and a big supporter of the team. Threw the (hilariously wild) first pitch at the 2023 home opener. I want to assume that his (also famous) brother Jason is a fan too but couldn't find any proof! Pictured is that aforementioned pitch, and Travis in the dugout with Terry Francona and Shane Bieber.
Tom Hanks
Tom was perhaps the only MAJOR celebrity to publicly root for us during the 2016 world series. Threw the first pitch at the 2022 home opener. Not from Cleveland but started his career here at Great Lakes Theater and attended many games during that time. Pictured is Tom with Larry Doby Jr., and in the recording booth with Rick Manning and Matt Underwood.

Very funny Staged-like opening of BAFTAs 2024 with David and Michael! :D ❤
David: Can you hear me? Michael, how is it going.
Michael: Yeah, I don't have time for pleasantries, David. Some of us are big in America. In fact, I have a zoom with LA in ten minutes.
David: It's 04:00 a.m. in LA.
Michael: Well, that was the only time I could fit them in, so they're getting up early. Anyway, look, I just wanted to confirm, I'm going to drop the new dog off on Sunday morning. We've called him Bark Ruffalo. It's cute isn’t it?
David: That is actually quite good. But listen, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. I'm afraid I can’t dog sit on Sunday.
Georgia: Oh, hi, Michael.
Michael: Yeah, hi, Georgia. Look, I don't want any of your excuses, David, you promised. I can't leave him with a neighbour because he peed in her kitchen.
Georgia: Right. Whereas we are desperate for him to come and pee in our kitchen.
David: I know that I did promise to dog sit on Sunday but since I promised, something else has come up and I-
Michael: Well, that sounds like a you problem.
David: Hi, Stan how are things?
Stanley Tucci: Hi, David. How are you?
David: Okay, listen, I need a favour. Michael Sheen has asked me to look after his dog on Sunday, but I agreed to host the BAFTA Film Awards on the same day. I was wondering if you could look after his dog for me?
Stanley Tucci: I would love to do that for you, David.
David: Oh, Stan, you're a lifesaver. Thank you so much.
Stanley Tucci: Is there anything else I can do for you?
David: No, looking after the dog is... I mean, that's obviously amazing.
Stanley Tucci: I could wash your car or something or the windows in your home.
David: You're not really gonna look after the dog, are you?
Stanley Tucci: And the BAFTA for Catching On Very Quickly goes to...
David: Himesh! Oh, Himesh, I think your computer is frozen. Oh, no it’s not frozen because I just saw someone.
Himesh Patel: Look, I know you're just calling because you want something from me.
David: Yeah. What are you doing on Sunday? Oh for crying out loud. Tom Hiddleston!
Tom Hiddleston: Hey, David. What's the pitch?
David: Pitch is dog sitting for Michael Sheen.
Tom Hiddleston: Wow. Okay. Yeah. Interesting. I'm guessing that we're going for, like, funny.
David: Could be funny, it’s a cute dog.
Tom Hiddleston: Yeah, I suppose the dog sitter initially could present as benign, and then he and the dog get up to all kinds of hijinx and ultimately disrupt stuffy old Michael Sheen's boring life. But for the better.
David: Listen did your agent tell you that I wanted to talk to you about a film?
Tom Hiddleston: Well yeah, obviously, unless you're actually, you know, calling me to ask me to dogsit for Michael Sheen.
David: No. Oh. Dame Judi. Long time no see.
Judi Dench: I thought you were going to be that beautiful Michael Sheen. What do you want?
David: Well, I wonder if you'd be up for a bit of dog sitting. I promised to look after Bark Ruffalo for Michael on Sunday, but I'm double booked.
Judi Dench: David. Bark Ruffalo. He pees everywhere. And anyway, I shall be watching a BAFTA Film Awards with a big glass of champagne. What's with the kilt?
David: Wait and see.
Judi Dench: Ooh.
David: Hi, David Tennant signing in. There's a courier here with something for production.
announcement: David Tennant to stage. David Tennant to stage.
David: Hi. Hello. Hi, everyone. Hi. Hi. Hi there.Sorry. I've got-Are you good with dogs? Yeah, and not on your dress. I'm sorry. Thank you. Hi. Hi. Sorry. Hello. Hello. Hi. This is fine. This is fine. This is. Michael? Michael?! What? What is this?
Michael: What are you doing there?
David: I'm hosting the show.
Michael: What?!
David: This is why you wanted me to dog sit, so you could sit there?
Michael: Yeah.
David: You going to have to take the dog.
Michael: What? What if I have to go up on the stage to be given an award? Yeah. All right. Give me.
David: Yeah. Come on. Get that one. You take that. And this weird thing.
Michael: Was this Scottish man mean to you? All right, come on to me. Oh, darling, hello, hello.
David: Never work with animals or Michael Sheen. Not a great start. Not a great start. Don't worry, though, tonight is going to go smoother than Ken's chest. For one thing, he's not a dog anyway. He is actually being played by Andy Serkis. Look at that. What a performance. Andy.
