I’m sorry, but no one can change history. It was what it was. Anyone who tries to retcon it is committing historical fraud.
I don’t have a problem with the name change, that’s fine, but you can’t undo decades and decades of baseball history for the sake of political correctness or anything else. Segregation existed. The Negro Leagues existed. Steroid use existed. Teams with names that some people found objectionable existed. It all was what it was, warts and all. Trying to cover it up is just wrong.
