A Summer to Remember
Bill Veeck, Lou Boudreau, Bob Feller, and the 1948 Cleveland Indians
While the Cleveland Indians are known more lately for being cellar dwellers than world champions, that wasn't the case in 1948. Ranked by the Sports News as the 9th-best team in baseball history, the '48 Indians were a colorful group of guys, lead by the always colorful Bill Veeck; the future Hall of Famer who was running his first team. But the Indians weren't just well-run in the from office.
