Indians mascot Chief Wahoo relegated to the bench at Progressive Field

One man is conspicuously absent from the Cleveland Indians’ 25-man postseason roster.

In fact, the longtime MVP has pretty much been relegated to a much smaller role on the team’s left sleeve and on the home game caps.

When the team’s official Central Division championship gear was distributed in the visitors’ locker room in a post-clinching celebration in Detroit, Chief Wahoo was nowhere to be seen.

The Indians publicly say Wahoo is still an important member of the team, but you have to look long and hard to find him in the public areas of Progressive Field.
