If Cleveland can change, then change could be on the way for the Braves as well

On this past Sunday evening, a change that has been percolating for a few years now finally came to fruition: The Cleveland Indians will be getting rid of their nickname. According to the New York Times, the change won’t be immediate and there’s no word yet on what he new nickname will be. The only certainty is that once the 2022 season rolls around, Cleveland’s baseball team will be taking to the field with a new nickname for the first time since the 1915 season, when they ditched the “Naps” nickname in favor of their current one.
