Read an article today that the team is phasing out their famous chief wahoo logo. And the Indians name could be next. That would be sad.
you evidently mis-read the article, the link below is from the Cleveland Indians homepage, so is this quick quote: "The Indians have altered their uniform plan for next season, but they have not phased out their Chief Wahoo logo." you should probably be a little more careful with what you read, where you read it, what you post and where you post it. stuff like this is what the current FAKE NEWS BS is all about.
I will say this much, if the League forces the Team to abstain from using Chief Wahoo altogether you will see a very peculiar boycott --- fans will buy up all that is available, break out all they have and blanket the stands with the mascot's image.
MLB could ban the mascot image. And I suspect MLB could very well ban fans from wearing offending mascot apparel in the stadium, if they wanted to take it that far. It could come to that.

This thread has been a fun read, especially Dimeman's flip flop from "zero chance" to a grudging "won in spite of Maddon"...
Sorry but their amazing season record and WS comeback weren't in spite of him... and this is coming from a Cardinal fan.
Man what a season. Was there with my daughter in our seats in the front row of the bleachers for WS games. We never should have even gotten that far. That HR by Rajai was electric. It bounced over directly straight down in front of us and I was screaming at zobrist to no avail. To try and get his attention. Way too loud at that point.
Told daughter after we stopped themin the top of the 9th that if we didnt close it out in the bottom half that we were done.
Our pitching was spent.
Easy to sit and say tito should have done things but I think he royally screwed up with kluber going again. Merrit should have started or at least thrown in that game. Why on earth did he let kluber give up 4 runs.
Was a fun ride and had a blast all season w my kids. Our seats are had to beat. I sell games I dont go to for 40-50 for both seats with parking. Needless to say I sell all of them
Now the signing of Edwin E....those are some serious circumstances! When. Get on a regular pc I will add some photos from the playoffs and world series.
Cleveland was a joy to watch last year even at the expense of my Tigers.

Walker Proof Digital Album Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

Goose, I think that Merrit should have pitched in Game 5 on Sunday in Chicago, there would have been no downside to that. the upside??? let the Cubs face someone they know nothing about in a game that they have to win, allow Kluber to get his proper rest and allow the Club to be a little looser in the dugout with less of an expectation and less of a letdown if Merrit stinks the place up.
agreeing with Mark as I do more often than not, the Tribe was fun, especially from mid-June and on. I can only hope their pitching staff heals and 2017 injuries are at a minimum.
I will completely agree Merritt should have pitched again! I also think Kluber should NOT have! Also Michael Martinez batting with the WS on the line? ugh.... I know he was down to no one on the bench but PH Tomlin or someone that can hit. I don't understand why we kept him all year.
If you can explain to me how to link my photos here easily from my FB page I will do so like we used to be able to do easily. This new software is not very friendly IMO. Otherwise you can see quite a few on my instagram (Jgoose514).
I think that game got away from both managers and we were left holding the bag when Martinez came up. he was the guy everyone has for the ninth inning pinch runner and I don't suppose Tito ever envisioned the WS coming down to his bat. it was quite weird.
You guys fail to remember that the Cubs were one crooked spike away from Bryant flopping on the wet infield grass and heaving Martinez' chopper down the right field line. Runner scores and they might still be playing this game today.
So sad. My beloved Tribe lost the last two World Series they were in In extra innings of game 7. On the other hand the Reds, my other rooting interest have a nine game winning streak going.

the whole thing is stupid.
MLB could ban the mascot image. And I suspect MLB could very well ban fans from wearing offending mascot apparel in the stadium, if they wanted to take it that far. It could come to that.
MLB could also shoot themselves in the foot or even in the mouth if they wanted to.
Not the source I read Keets. Im against the ban, but they are making steps to phase out the logo.
IT CAN'T BE A TRUE PLAYOFF UNLESS THE BIG TEN CHAMPIONS ARE INCLUDED
