Scherzer, Cole, Rendon, Trout, and Strasburg all will make more in base salary than the entirety of the Pirates, Orioles, or Guardians.

This is brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. I bow down. But I do not get this one: Boston Boomers. And Kansas City Regeants eludes me, too.
And the absence of an Iowa Baseball Confederacy reference bums me out.

Did Liberty City have a baseball team? I only remember the Cocks and Beavers from III, and those were soccer teams. Maybe IV had one, but I played that game so disjointedly I don’t remember much.

The IV version had a baseball team: the Liberty Swingers. San Fierro had the Packers.

Opinions vary. I didn't like it until I learned those cool sculptures are called The Guardians.
Now I think this has the opportunity for art deco goodness. Especially when the current infantilization trend of logos, and culture in general, is rejected.

I wasn't aware the sculptures were called the Guardians of Traffic until after the name change was announced by the (formerly) Indians, and I became a transplanted Clevelander years ago. These sculptures are part of the Hope Memorial Bridge, known also as the Lorain-Carnegie Bridge. I see the sculptures every time I use the bridge, which is fairly regularly, but had no clue what they were. They are pretty neat looking, and once I realized where the new team name came from, it has grown on me a bit. I think if the team had changed its name 50 or 60 years ago, by now most people would think it was pretty cool. Progressive Field is at the corner of Carnegie Avenue and Ontario Street in Cleveland, and the bridge begins just a few hundred yards west of the Guardians home park, spanning the Cuyahoga River. The avenue becomes Lorain Avenue at the end of the bridge heading west.

The plural of anecdote is not data
Having lived in Cleveland for 5 years, 100% agree with this post. I think they are very cool sculptures and I think the name will grow over time (although wish they would have handled the roller derby team stuff with more class).

To have proper guardians, your city needs to contain something worth guarding.
