 The story is, the team was named in honor of one of the early

 I don't follow baseball, so, if I did know it at one time I
 didn't recall it.

 There are enough who are American Indian to make it a valid
 concern. After all, there aren't enough American Indians to be
 the majority of much anything else,

 Wouldn't know. Only reason I ever pais any attention was it
 showed up on TV.
