A.L. Central Comments, Some Indians History

The city of Cleveland ended a nearly 52 year major North American sports league title drought when the NBA Cavaliers won the title 4 weeks ago today.

Meanwhile the Cleveland Indians, sans a title since 1948 figure to be at least one of the teams in the baseball tournament.

That 1948 team as was the case with the last Cubs’ title team in 1908, had a player manager, in the Indians’ case Lou Boudreau.

Cleveland was victorious in the 1948 World Series vs the Boston Braves winning The Fall Classic in six games.
