Default Cleveland Indians name....is this true??
Posted By: Dan Bretta

Most likely it was a copycat move by the Cleveland sportswriters to give them a nickname similar to the Miracle Boston Braves, but it is also true that the Spiders were called Indians frequently when Sockalexis was playing for them.

So I deem you both right!
