Cleveland Indians
Lake Erie nine
The Cleveland Indians were a Major League Baseball team based in Cleveland, Ohio, from 1915 to 2021.
The franchise changed its name to the Cleveland Guardians following years of criticism that the Indians name and associated imagery were offensive to Native Americans.
My grandfather took me to see the Indians play at Municipal Stadium.
