What are your thoughts on the Cleveland Indians changing their name and mascot?
I hear Guardians and think of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. I’ve never seen the GotG flicks, but I did see the Avengers films. In one of them, Groot—a tree that can only say “I am Groot”—breaks off his arm to be used as a handle for Thor’s hammer. What is a baseball bat but a thick, tapering axe handle? An unlimited supply of bats at a baseball team’s disposal is a good thing. Strike 1, for positivity. I’m sure Cleveland would’ve loved to have Groot as their mascot, but Marvel’s licensing fee would be unreasonable. Strike 2, for effort. Even though Groot’s not the Cleveland mascot, the very association with GotG screams inclusion. Guardians won’t care if you can only mutter a single comprehensible phrase to the interviewer following your walk-off homerun. Just keep bringing us those W’s. Strike 3, for inclusivity. Honestly, I have no idea where I’m going with this “3-strikes” analogy. I planned this paragraph out worse than Cleveland has their names and mascots. Indians: strike 1. Guardians: strike 2. Their 3rd swing should come sometime in the near future.
