1. Yesterday afternoon marked the Cleveland Indians' final home game under their current name. The team will continue to play its remaining six away games as the Indians, officially becoming the Cleveland Guardians sometime in 2022. The new name was selected after the franchise considered more than 1,200 options and got input from fans and community stakeholders. It is a nod to the Guardians of Traffic standing at either end of the Hope Memorial Bridge that crosses the Cuyahoga River and leads to downtown and Progressive Field. (WJW FOX 8 News Cleveland)
