8x10  Photo of the 1920 Cleveland Indians

8x10 Black & White Photo of the 1920 World Champion Cleveland Indians. The offense was led by Player Manager Tris Speaker, Steve O'Neill, Larry Gardner, Ray Chapman, Elmer Smith & Charlie Jamieson. The pitching staff featured a Big Three of Stan Coveleski, Jim Bagby and Ray Caldwell. Cleveland defeated Brooklyn in a World Series that featured an unassisted triple play by the Indians Second Baseman Bill Wambsganss.

This team suffered a terrible tradgedy when their star shortstop Ray Chapman was killed by a pitched ball.

Chapman was struck by a pitch by Carl Mays on August 16, 1920 in a game against the New York Yankees. The sound of the ball crashing into Chapman's skull was so loud that Mays thought it hit his bat, fielded the ball, and threw to first base. Chapman died twelve hours later in a New York City hospital.

In tribute to Chapman's memory, Cleveland players wore black arm bands, with manager Tris Speaker leading the team to win both the pennant and the first World Championship in the history of the club. Rookie Joe Sewell took Chapman's place at shortstop, and went on to have a Hall of Fame career.
