The First Cleveland Indian

Here we see a large portrait of Lou Sockalexis, the first Cleveland Indian. He was a brief major league star for the Cleveland Spiders. The Cleveland Indians were said to have been named for him, but no firm proof has been produced. But I, and many others, think the Club should honor him and his legacy and put a racist tradition to rest by incorporating his portrait into their logo. Say goodbye to the cartoon Wahoo. Please share your comments below or share this blog with your friends on Facebook, Linkedin or Twitter.Looking for the perfect picture for your next project?
