CLEVELAND -- The Indians began removing the team's scripted logo atop the giant scoreboard at Progressive Field on Tuesday as they transition their name to the Guardians.
Crews started dismantling the letters, beginning with the "I" on the 80-foot-long sign. It's another step in the offseason change for the Major League Baseball team, which has been called the Indians since 1915.
The removal of the letters is expected to take several days. The sign will be placed in storage while the club evaluates options for a permanent spot for it.
A new "Guardians" sign will replace the old one and be erected before Opening Day 2022.
