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.
