With the Indians moving on from Chief Wahoo, they have unveiled three new elements to their uniform set as part of the transition. Wahoo is no longer on caps and on sleeves of the uniform. Instead, the Indians are embracing the Block C on all caps and the Wahoo patch instead will featuring the All-Star […]

Indians are removing Chief Wahoo: Now what?
It was eventually going to happen and now we know when. The Cleveland Indians will remove Chief Wahoo from all of their uniform following this upcoming season. Wahoo, who has been used for decades has recently been deemed racist and there has been pressure to remove the logo. I understand the move and I know […]
Indians, please don’t take away my Athletics’ 20-game win streak record
Scott Hatteberg celebrates his walk-off homer which gave the A’s their 20th consecutive win on 9/4/02. My friend texted me the other day and asked me how I felt about the Cleveland Indians challenging the Oakland Athletics’ American League record of 20 straight wins set back in 2002. It was a scenario I was very […]
Indians’ new idea of getting rid of Chief Wahoo caps is a horrible compromise
I get it. The Indians want to slowly separate their identity with Chief Wahoo. That logo was seen on the caps of the Indians for essentially their entire postseason run instead of an appearance of the block C cap. But now the news has surfaced that the cap logo will not be seen as much. […]
A’s trade Coco Crisp to Indians and I am going to miss him
Thank you, @Coco_Crisp, for many years of good times. Best of luck in Cleveland. #GreenCollar pic.twitter.com/n7gwty5j5i — Oakland Athletics (@Athletics) August 31, 2016 I am going to miss Coco Crisp. He was one of the rare modern Oakland A’s players that stuck around for over five years. He was the rare kind that embodied the […]
John Axford would like some compensation for MLB selling his jersey
Take jersey from player’s locker. Put sticker on it. Say “game worn”. Sell it for $350. Give player $0! Thanks @MLB https://t.co/aydnP9dHoA — John Axford (@JohnAxford) April 21, 2016 It would make sense if a player would get some compensation for someone selling his game-worn jersey. John Axford revealed that MLB does not do that. […]
Indians’ new dark navy jersey is really dark
Indians are using a darker shade of navy jersey to match their caps. It’s really dark. pic.twitter.com/7KvyWadIHy — Samuel Lam (@SamuelYLam) April 9, 2015 During the offseason, the Indians announced that they would make their primary home caps and their alternate road caps’ shade of blue match their throwback jerseys. This made sense in terms […]
My favorite Jason Giambi moment
Jason Giambi announces his retirement http://t.co/TLPmXXmvyb — HardballTalk (@HardballTalk) February 16, 2015 I grew up an Oakland A’s fan and I didn’t really invested into baseball until 1998. That was a great year for the game itself with the home run chase going on. But since I grew up in the East Bay and my heart […]
I like the new changes the Indians are giving to Progressive Field aka Jacobs Field
I have been to this ballpark. I think it’s the second best park I have ever visited right behind Safeco Field in Seattle. The midwest, blue collar feel has always amazed me. It’s not a stadium with too much going on, but the ambiance of it always captured me. And it’s right in the heart […]
Indians, Jason Kipnis agree to reported six-year, $52.5M extension
Locking up one of the best second basemen in baseball. That’s a great move for the Indians.

The Indians’ decision to demote Chief Wahoo is a mistake
Is Chief Wahoo being demoted? Paul Lukas http://t.co/MfhU9jUqRe via @bbtn — ESPN Commentary (@ESPNCommentary) January 10, 2014 The Indians aren’t changing their uniforms. It’s just that you’ll see the block C a lot more than Chief Wahoo from now on. If you haven’t heard the news, the Cleveland Indians have demoted Chief Wahoo. No, that […]
MLB tries to avoid another PR disaster with Cleveland Indians
Which one is better? Remember when MLB had that issue with the Braves batting practice cap? Looks like they’ve run into the same problem with the Cleveland Indians. What was initially as a Chief Wahoo logo has now been replaced with the block “C”, and the excuse is that they simply used the wrong image […]
MLB’s statement on Angel Hernandez’s blown call on Adam Rosales homer brings no solution
How is this not a home run? In case you missed it last night, the A’s were down to their final out and what appeared to be a game-tying home run was ruled a double, despite the umpire crew going to instant replay and upholding their original call. All replays show that the ball hit […]
Umpire Angel Hernandez blows game-tying HR call in Indians-A’s game
Angel Hernandez is going to get it from A’s fans when he umpires a game there later this season. Only excuse that this happens is that he didn’t have any replay or the TV he was using was standard definition. Regardless, replay doesn’t work if people still get it wrong.

The marginalization of Chief Wahoo continues
Samuel: I get why Chief Wahoo is offensive and if it disappears, I can understand it. But maybe because I have a soft spot for this team that Wahoo has always been my image of the team. One of my favorite Indians jerseys of all time is the vest where Wahoo is right on the […]
Spring Training in Phoenix Day 4: One more game and I’m back home
The final day of my Spring Training trip took me to Camelback Ranch Sunday to see the Dodgers host the Indians. As a partial Indians fan, this was a good way for me to watch the team and check out a new stadium. But before that, we decided to stop by this breakfast spot called […]
Indians add Bourn in latest impressive move
Good job, Indians. After faltering so bad in August, you’ve made yourselves relevant this offseason. I like the addition and I think that with Terry Francona leading the way, the Indians won’t be cellar dwellers this year. Watch out!
