Are past Cleveland baseball players former Indians or former Guardians? Reporters, the team and the Baseball Hall of Fame weigh in
while posed frequently enough
Simple enough, but this isn't a team renamed because of relocation or the whims of a new owner where the reference doesn't carry meaning beyond a simple choice. The Indians moniker was jettisoned, not long after the red-face Sambo Chief Wahoo mascot, because it was a racist name that dehumanized Native Americans.
"To avoid any confusion or angry emails, I've tried to simply use Cleveland where it makes sense," he said. The Baseball Hall of Fame, for one, has to pick something, both for early franchise players and those from the most recent name era who are honored in the museum. - When the Guardians begin play in 2022, the Museum and Library will document the name change with artifacts and ephemera reflective of the name change.
