#Cleveland Indians

[kemetic-dreams]

Leroy Robert "Satchel" Paige was born on July 7, 1906, in Mobile, Alabama. Though many speculate it may have been more like 1903.

According to Paige, his mother sent him to earn money carrying luggage for businessmen at the train station, but he was frustrated with the little money it paid. So he rigged a pole to carry several bags at once to make the job pay better, and his co-workers purportedly told him, "You look like a walking satchel tree." And his nickname stuck.

At the age of 42 in 1948, Paige was the oldest major league rookie while playing for the Cleveland Indians. He played with the St. Louis Browns until age 47, and represented them in the All-Star Game in 1952 and 1953. He was the first player who had played in the Negro Leagues to pitch in the World Series, in 1948, and was the first electee of the Negro League Committee to be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1971.

Another one bites the dust

It was only a matter of time.

If Okemos High School, where our kids went, felt pressured to abandon its largely innocuous “Chiefs” mascot (when, in fact, Okemos is named after Chippewa Chief Okemos), what chance did the Lansing Sexton “Big Reds” have? 

Exactly. None. Indeed, This week Sexton dumped the “Big Reds” logo for a mascot to be named later. And when you look at it from the Native American point of view, it’s hard to say anything but, “Good riddance!”

Originally the “Big Reds” logo featured a Native American in full headdress; it transformed over the years in to a red block “S”.

The rebrand will cost about $250,000, $87,500 of which will come in the form of a Native American Heritage Fund.

Now that the Cleveland “Indians” are now the “Guardians” and the Washington “Redskins” are now the “Commanders”,  I’m hoping the Atlanta Braves’ “tomahawk chop,” which is racist and obnoxious, is also doomed.

I've always loved this 1994 Upper Deck set. The images are crisp and the colors just pop on the front and back. And you can't go wrong with Kenny Lofton.
