Product Description
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 1,500 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." Interactive Menus; Scene Selection

The Cheers from Municipal Stadium November 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The archival footage is incredibly sharp and the presentation is in newsreel form from this magical season for player-manager Lou Boudreau and a city that not only embraced the club, but whose fans helped set a number of Major League Baseball attendance records in the cavernous Municipal Stadium.
The club - paced by such legends as Satchel Paige, Larry Doby, Bob Lemon, Bob Feller and Ken Keltner - snatched the American League pennant by winning a "sudden-victory" playoff game with the Boston Red Sox and then defeated the Boston Braves in the World Series.
This is a great stride down memory lane when Bill Veeck ruled the city through his innovative gimmicks to keep baseball on the front pages of the daily newspapers and the team delivered an incredible season on the diamond.
