Aside from people on this forum and some real old-timers, not very many people know who Lajoie is, or his history with the team. If you're going to do that you'd be better off naming the team something like the Fellers.
And the Spiders is worse. It is an insect, an arachnid, that many people detest. Plus, you name them the Spiders and the logical progression will carry over to Spiderman. And I can already see the potential lawsuits and issues coming with merchandising and such. Cleveland MLB ownership is not big on spending money, and they won't want to get into any licensing rights scandals or payouts. They got rid of Chief Wahoo, they should have just left the name.
