Cleveland Indians: 1920 World Series Champions, 100 years later

Today, October 12, marks the 100th anniversary of the 1920 World Series, the first of what would be two World Series titles that have come home to the Cleveland Indians.

From October 5 to October 12, 1920, the Cleveland Indians and Brooklyn Robins went seven games to decide the winner of the coveted World Series. The Indians had only been around for 20 years while the Robins were in just their seventh season under that moniker while the club had been around since 1883. The Robins are more commonly known as the Brooklyn Dodgers and an eventual move to become what the team is known today as the Los Angeles Dodgers.
