Travis Kelce explains why Cleveland is a ‘baseball town’ and not an NFL one
Travis Kelce was in attendance to watch the Cleveland Guardians when they clinched Game 5 of the ALDS to complete a comeback. He recently spoke about what baseball means to Cleveland.
Travis Kelce, the three-time Super Bowl champion and Cleveland native, recently attended a Cleveland Guardians game that saw them clinch Game 5 of the ALDS. He spoke about the city's unwavering passion for baseball, explaining that Cleveland has always been a "baseball town" since he was a kid. Despite their Browns being the city's most successful franchise (though never winning a Super Bowl), it's baseball that continues to captivate the fans.
Kelce recounted watching the Guardians play on TV as a child and the excitement they felt during his father's World Series game in 2016. This time, when Jose Ramirez hit a game-winning home run in Game 5 of the ALDS, the entire stadium was electrified. For Cleveland sports fans, any success is cherished after years of struggling with all their franchises.
A win in the ALCS or even a World Series title would be a monumental celebration for the town, potentially the biggest in a decade.
