Cleveland Indians!
The Cleveland Indians are a Major League Baseball team based
in Cleveland, Ohio. They currently are in the Central Division of the American
League.
Founded: 1893, as the Grand Rapids, Michigan, franchise in the minor Western
League. Moved to Cleveland in 1900 after the National League had vacated the
city following the 1899 season, and when the Western League was renamed the
American League. The American became a major league in 1901. Cleveland is thus a
charter member of the American League.
Formerly known as: the Cleveland Blues (1901), Broncos/Bronchos (1902) and Naps
(1903-1914). They were called the Blues because they wore blue uniforms. When
reporters referred to them as the "Bluebirds", which the players hated, the
players chose the name Broncos or Bronchos. The name was changed to the Naps
when Napoleon Lajoie was the team's star player.
