PRELUDE: SUMMER 1969
AUTUMN Interlude
Drenched in the autumn sun during batting practice the day before the 1954 World Series began, the quirky dimensions of the Polo Grounds would play a pivotal role in Game One the following afternoon.
The Indians watch in amazement as their luck sours in the opening game of the World Series.
PART ONE BEFORE THE SHADOWS
1-NOW OR NEVER
In 1949, the torch of leadership in the Indians front office passed from showman Bill Veeck (left) to former slugger hank Greenberg.
2-EMPIRE OF FREEDOM
Enigmatic Cleveland Press editor Louis Seltzer, better known as “Mr. Cleveland,” remains one of the most fascinating—and polarizing—figures in American journalism.
3-A SATURDAY NIGHT TOWN
Al Lopez (far left) watches as the Indians storm out of the dugout to take the field at Comiskey Park in Chicago on opening day, 1954.
By 1954, the Big Four—(clockwise from bottom) Bob lemon, Mike Garcia, Early Wynn, and Bob Feller—had become known as the Big Three, though Feller put together one final magnificent season.
4-STORM CLOUDS
Newlyweds Marilyn and Sam Sheppard.
Al Rosen: the All-American athlete in the All-American city.
Al Rosen—the first player to win the American League Most Valuable Player by unanimous vote—is presented with the award.
5-THE CHASM OF RIDICULOUSNESS
Larry Doby scored 94 runs in 1954 and led the Indians in home runs and RBI.
6-A TRIPLE INTO THE GRAVESTONES
7-HARD LUCK
