Re: Cleveland Indians
jjdees:
Boston also had the Red Sox in town and just as the New Yorkers of today hope for a "Subway Series" the beantown fans wanted a "MTA Series" but that was not to be. I seem to recall from seeing baseball history programs that Lou Boudeau was the player-manager of that Indians team. A great shortstop who has been overshadowed in baseball history by a Yank named "Scooter". I can't remember the name of the pitcher who suffered a near fatal blow to the head while batting. It ended his career as I recall. Since I was only one-year old at the time, these observations are strictly from television shows. You, however, had the pleasure of experiencing it in Cleveland, itself. Yeah, it would be GREAT for baseball to have a Indians/Cubbies World Series matchup.
What a fun time to be a baseball fan!!!
