The 1948 World Series gave fans an unusual showdown—neither of
the contestants had seen the Fall Classic for a generation. The
Cleveland Indians had last won the American League pennant in 1920.
The Boston Braves had not been atop the National League since 1914.
Both teams featured excellent pitching. Boston's aces were Warren
Spahn and Johnny Sain. Cleveland had stalwarts of the mound Bob
Feller and Bob Lemon, and surprise knuckleball phenom Gene Bearden.
Despite being prohibitive favorites, Cleveland battled through six
hard-fought games for the championship. This book recounts every
at-bat of the 1948 Series, along with key moments of the regular
season, including the antics of colorful Indians' owner Bill Veeck
and a near fatality on the diamond.
