He was also a minority owner of Major League Baseball's Cleveland Guardians (known as the Indians in his day) for much of his life.[[note]]The new team name has a roundabout connection to him. The "Guardians" name comes from the ''Guardians of Traffic'', sculptures on the pylons of the Hope Memorial Bridge that crosses the Cuyahoga River near the Guardians' ballpark. Depending on the source, the bridge was named for Hope's father (a stonemason), either by himself or as representative of all the stonemasons who worked on the bridge; Hope himself; or the Hope family.[[/note]]
Hope was married twice. The first marriage, to his vaudeville partner Grace Troxell, lasted less than two years; the second, to singer Dolores Reade, lasted nearly seventy years until his death from pneumonia at age 100. They had four adopted children.
