The Guardians announced before the game that longtime PA announcer Bob Tayek has died.
“It is with great sadness we share the news that our longtime public address announcer, Bob Tayek, has passed away today,” the team said in a statement. “For nearly three decades, Bob was the voice of Progressive Field, welcoming generations of fans to Cleveland baseball with warmth, professionalism and a presence that became part of the ballpark experience. Please keep Bob’s family, friends and all who worked alongside him in your thoughts during this difficult time.”
