MLB Vintage World Series Films – Cleveland Indians 1948 – Baseball Galore and MoreSkip to content
The “Golden Age” of Cleveland baseball under owner Bill Veeck is celebrated in this collectible DVD featuring one of the most star-studded pitching staffs in Major League Baseball history. All the glory of the Cleveland Indians-® 1948 World Series-® Championship is now digitally preserved on this official DVD. The Cleveland Indians under player-manager and 1948 American League-® MVP Lou Boudreau had superb hitting but it was the pitching that led the way. Veterans Bob Feller and Bob Lemon were joined by a pair of unlikely rookies: knuckleballer Gene Bearden and at 42 years of age the oldest Major League Baseball-® rookie ever Satchel Paige (with his 1500 Negro League victories). After defeating the Boston Red Sox-® in a one-game playoff to decide the pennant the Indians took on the Boston Braves-®. Over the first four games Cleveland’s pitching registered a 0.75 ERA and sparked by the hitting of Larry Doby the Indians won their first championship since 1920. Bonus Film: In the glistening new Jacobs Field the 1995 Indians team relied on overwhelming offense and a pitching staff with a league-leading ERA. Wahoo! What A Finish celebrates the dramatic come-from-behind victories that rocked “The Jake.”
