Major League Baseball’s team in Cleveland has announced that it is officially changing its problematic name.

The team announced Friday morning through a hype video on social media narrated by actor Tom Hanks that it will now be known as the Cleveland Guardians. Cleveland announced last summer that it was having discussions with the local community and members of Native American groups about a possible name change. In December the team announced that it was beginning a search for a new nickname.
