Civil Rights game

So, the season's about to start, and MLB decides to kick things off with an exhibition game honoring the Civil Rights movement ... and the teams playing in it are the St. Louis Cardinals and (wait for it) the Cleveland Indians, the professional team with the second-most repellent, racist team name/logo in all of sports (just behind the Washington Redskins) ... I've been a hardcore baseball fan since 1968, but the existence of the Indians name and that awful logo are an ongoing embarassment ... and putting them in a game to honor the Civil Rights movement? What was Bud Selig thinking?!?!

Bud Selig thinks?
