About Cleveland Indians
After 106 years of good, loyal service, one of world-sports most loveable logos gave in to politically correct, as Chief Wahoo's laughing face were removed from being the logo of the Cleveland Indians (and, of course, from the team's hats and merchandise), after the organization officially changed its name to the Cleveland Guardians.
The teams gas gone through several name changes along its long history. The ball club was established as the Grand Rapids Rippers in 1894 as a minor league club. Six years later, the organization moved from Michigan to Ohio and was renamed Cleveland Lake Shores. During 1901-02 it was the Cleveland Bluebirds/Blues, Cleveland Bronchos in 1902, Cleveland Napoleons/Naps from 1903-1914, and finally, in 1915, the Indians were born and lived a happy life all the way through the conclusion on the 2021 season, after which the club was officially name Guardians, after a famous traffic statue on a bridge not far from the club's home, Progressive field.
Of their two World Series’ victories, the first in 1920 came about in controversial circumstances. Their American League rivals for the Pennant, the White Sox were in the middle of a scandal with eight players being suspended for alleged match fixing. Consequently the Indians went through to meet the Brooklyn Dodgers (then known as the Brooklyn Robins) in what was a best of nine series, emerging as 5-2 winners even though the Robins had been 2-1 ahead after game three.
Twenty-eight years later in 1948 the Indians twice spoiled Boston’s party. Firstly by winning a one-game playoff against the Boston Red Sox for the American League pennant thus eliminating the fascinating prospect of an all-Boston World Series. Then in the event itself, the Indians defeated the Boston Braves in six games in what was the first World Series to be televised nationwide. Thus they attained their second trophy, a feat which the Indians have been unable to repeat ever since.
Along their decades of activity, some of the game's all-time great played their craft wearing Cleveland uniforms and were inducted to Baseball Hall of Fame. First and foremost among them is Cy Young, the name and the award. The right-handed pitcher played for the Cleveland Spiders as a minor league club (1890-1898) and later for the Cleveland Naps (1909-1911).
Outfielder "Shoeless" Joe Jackson, he of the notoriously fames Black Sox Scandal of the early 20's played for the Cleveland Naps/Indians (1910-1915) and it should be noted that the game-fixing scandal broke out only after he was traded to the Chicago White Sox.
Outfielder Frank Robinson, a 14-time all-star, finished his playing career with the Indians (1974-76) an immediately became the team's manager (1975-77), hence becoming the first African-American manager in Major League Baseball. Robinson have 2,943 hits and 586 home runs during an illustrious 21-year career.
Another Cleveland Hall of Famer is catcher Sandy Alomar Jr. After winning the AL Rookie of the Year and Gold Glove in '90, he went on to be selected to six All Star games and even won the MVP in '97 when the game was held in Cleveland.
A career .295 hitter with 789 RBI, Lou Boudreau led the offense while he managed the team. The last manager to win a World Series for the Indians, he did it while stationed in the hole at short.
Bob Feller, without a doubt, is No. 1 in the Indians' pantheon of legends. One of the hardest throwers ever to step on a mound, he won 20 games six times and struck out 2,581 batters in his career he was a monster when he took the mound.
