On October 11, 1948, the Cleveland Indians beat the Boston Braves 4 games to 2 in the 45th World Series. A glorious day for Cleveland! Unfortunately, Cleveland now owns the longest drought since the Cubs won in 2016. There was a controversy in the series. In game one, Bob Feller made a pick off attempt at Phil Masi at second base. Indians' shortstop Lou Boudreau appeared to tag Masi out, but umpire Bill Stewart called him safe. Masi left a note in his will in 1990 that he was indeed tagged out. The great Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Feller, Navy CPO, never won a World Series Game.

Great bit of baseball history. As a cubs fan, I have to feel for the fans.

We've been in a few, but came up short. That series against the Marlins broke my heart. That one game playoff this year was sad as well. SN Donald Hoffman

I am surprised they could not catch Minnesota, as They had a stronger pitching staff.SGT (Join to see)
