Commissioner to Talk to Indians Owner About Chief Wahoo

CLEVELAND -- Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred plans to meet with Indians owner Paul Dolan following the World Series to discuss the team's continued use of the controversial Chief Wahoo logo.

The smiling, red-faced symbol has stirred strong opinions for years. Manfred said he understands "that particular logo is offensive to some people, and all of us at Major League Baseball understand why."

Manfred also appreciated the segment of fans who are attached to Chief Wahoo, which still appears on some of the Indians caps and sleeves of game jerseys.

The Indians dropped Chief Wahoo as their primary logo three years ago, replacing it with a block "C'', but that isn't enough for some groups who want it abolished completely.

Manfred said he and Dolan agreed to put of discussion until after the Series.
