Are they going to rename the Braves-Indians World Series titles too?

Andrew Thomas blogs at Dark Angel Politics
Silvio Canto, Jr.  "Back in 1948, the Indians beat the Braves then the Braves beat the Indians in 1995.   
"Are they going back and change those titles?  Or will they get the Maris asterisk when he hit 61 in 1961?  
"The silly season is in full bloom.  Apparently, the Indians of Cleveland are now thinking about changing their name.
"They already changed their mascot or that "offensive to some" Chief Wahoo.  I remember a lot of baseball cards with the chief staring at you.   I loved those Indians uniforms but then I am the kind of guy who does not mix baseball with politics.  I'd rather focus on batting averages and pitchers who throw strikes.
"The mascot had been part of the team since 1948, their last championship.  They dropped poor Wahoo in 2018.   Then Wahoo got revenge when the Indians lost to the Cubs that year.   
"Honestly, there are lots of angry Indians fans in the world but not one ever complained about Chief Wahoo dropping fly balls, striking out with the winning run at second or losing game 7 to the Marlins.   As far as I know, most of the "expletives" from the bleachers were shouted at the bullpen, not the Chief." . . .
