Steven Kwan: “This city, the people here, they’re all about show and prove. Cleveland isn’t a place where you can get away with just talking about how great you are, and that’ll be enough to fool people. You have to show people what you’re about. There’s definitely a vibe of hospitality, warmth, and kindness in Cleveland. Neighborliness. But mixed in with all of that, there is an unmistakable grit. It’s ingrained in everyone here. It’s like, go to work, do your job, bust your butt, do what you need to do, and then … go grab a beer with your buddies and laugh with your friends and hug your family.

That’s tough to beat right there.

And the love for sports in this town, for the hometown teams … it’s real. Talk to someone from Cleveland, and it won’t be more than a minute or two before the Browns or the Guardians or the Cavs come up. Sports are just part of the fabric of the city. And, as a player, you feel that love at all times. Even in my lowest moments, I hear people cheering me on, and the guys out in the left field stands are shouting positive things and encouraging me. The support from the fans in Cleveland, it’s unwavering.
Well, actually … let me restate that. There is one condition. It’s unwavering….

As long as they know you’re putting in the work. As long as they can see it.

And with this year’s Guardians team, there really is so much good stuff to see.” https://t.co/TsINszxCnz
