Guardians fans came out to support the team Wednesday afternoon, facing elimination with a loss. Cleveland pulled out a thrilling win late in the game , and the fans were along for the ride no matter the outcome.
Jim Sabo, from Cleveland Heights, is a fixture at home games. It’s hard to miss him in one of his homemade heavily bedazzled outfits he makes to support the team.
“I decorate the shirt and shoes and everything," Sabo said. "That’s my hobby, I’ve been doing it for like 30 years."
Sabo’s colorful enthusiasm for both Cleveland baseball and fashion is perhaps the result of a team that has inspired the whole city.
