CLEVELAND (AP) — The Indians’ decision to remove the contentious Chief Wahoo logo from their caps and jerseys starting next season still isn’t enough to those opposing the logo.
The team will keep selling merchandise featuring the smiling, big-toothed caricature.
As they’ve done for every home opener, a group marched to Progressive Field to voice their outrage at the team’s use of the mascot.
Michael Brantley singled home two runs in his first at-bat this season, leading the Indians to a 3-2 win in their home opener over the Kansas City Royals.
Brantley was activated from the disabled list before the game after missing the first six games following ankle surgery.
Carlos Carrasco worked six innings for the win.
