Cleveland Spiders

This post is dedicated to my cousin, James. The photo above is of the Cleveland Spiders. Cy Young was one of them. The team did not last too long. The Spiders were the first baseball team to play at League Park. Unlike our current baseball team that has  provoked protest and outrage from native American Indians, this team was different.



I am sorry that some  native American Indians are so offended by the name of Cleveland's baseball team  and the colorful cartoons that have been drawn of Indians wearing baseball uniforms.  As many Clevelanders cheer them on in the World Series and say "Go Tribe," others such as my well-intentioned cousin will say "Go Spiders."



Irregardless  of the name, I wish Cleveland's baseball team the best tonight and hope they win the World Series tonight.
