R.I.P. Cleveland Indians
The Cleveland Indians have announced a name change for 2022. They will be called the Cleveland Guardians. In my opinion, this stinks. Guardians? What will they be guarding? The team's honor? I think not. The Indians have been so named since 1915, and are one of the most historically significant teams in the American League. Name change or no name change, they will still have the longest active World Series drought.

Agreed. I think the Indians is a great name, and they could have used it to honor and preserve Indian heritage. The Guardians? Seriously? SMH.
ReplyDeleteIs Bob Engel the guy in the '80s who robbed a store of '80s cards and got fired?
You're thinking of the right guy. The incident happened in 1990, when he stole 1990 Score cards from a Target,resulting in the end of his umpiring career, which started in 1965. It's a shame; he probably would have made the Hall of Fame, as he was very popular and a good umpire.
