The death of Chief Wahoo has come swiftly. Shortly after the Cleveland Indians announced they will be retiring their mascot amid accusations that it’s a racist caricature of Native Americans, the MLB hall of fame has declared the cartoon character will no longer be featured on commemorative plaques.
In an announcement on Wednesday, the Hall of Fame said that future Indians memorabilia will feature a “Block C logo” in place of Chief Wahoo. The Hall said that it “concurs with the commissioner’s sentiment and acknowledges the shifting societal view of Native American logos in baseball.”
