Description

All through the Cleveland Indians’ checkered 110-year history, only two of its teams have brought home baseball’s ultimate prize. Even as the 1948 team continues to be revered by Clevelanders, little has been written about the 1920 team that won the city’s first pennant and World Series. Few, if any, World Series championship teams faced as much adversity as did the 1920 Indians. A few of the obstacles they faced were the death of their star pitcher’s wife in May; the shadow of the Chicago “Black Sox” scandal; and the tragic deadly beaning of shortstop Ray Chapman, the one fatal injury ever sustained by an incredible league player at the field of play. This chronicle of that peculiar season highlights an overpassed chapter within the history of one in every of baseball’s most beloved underdogs.
