  • Bill Veeck. the Man Who Conquered Cleveland and Changed Baseball Forever
    Bill Veeck. The Man Who Conquered Cleveland and Changed Baseball Forever. By Bill Lubinger The morning of Oct. 12, 1948, was chilly and battleship gray. But the city of Cleveland may have never felt so glorious; its residents never so proud. Estimates vary. Some say more than 300,000 fans jammed the sidewalks of Euclid Avenue, from Public Square to University Circle. Others put the number closer to 500,000. They lined the city's main artery, squeezing parts of the two-lane thoroughfare down to one, all to celebrate their championship baseball team. The Indians had finally won a World Series championship - their first since 1920 and, as the cruel baseball Gods would have it more than six decades later, their last. Convertibles carrying the Indians' players and their wives and city leaders paraded the 107 blocks past a cheering throng. "I remember getting off a train and riding in an open car down Euclid Avenue at 8 o'clock in the morning,'' recalls Al Rosen, one of only three players from that team still living. "The town lined up on either side of the street. It was remarkable. The people turned out en masse.'' Teammate Eddie Robinson, now 91 and retired in Fort Worth, Texas, still remembers how the sidewalk crowds were elbow to elbow. Some revelers perched themselves on parked cars and buses. "It was wonderful,'' he says. "It was a wonderful year.'' A year largely orchestrated by a chain-smoking man in the lead car with reddish hair, a wooden leg from a World War II injury and a huge smile that matched his gregarious personality.

  • Bob Feller Pitches Opening Day No-Hitter Stuns White Sox in April 1940 by Dr
    Bob Feller Pitches Opening Day No-Hitter Stuns White Sox in April 1940 www.bobfellermuseum.org by Dr. David Fletcher Feller had been in the AL for four years by the time opening day 1940 began. He baffled hitters with his repertoire of pitches and crafty changes of speed. His curveball was particularly unfriendly to right-handed hitters. The pitch sped at a right-handed batter before dropping down toward the strike zone. To further confuse and trip-up hitters, Feller used a variety of windups - ranging from overhand to “three-quarters” to sidearm. Photo courtesy: Baseball in Wartime (baseballinwartime.com) FELLER BEATS WHITE SOX IN NO-HIT GAME, 1-0 / HEMSLEY DRIVES IN CLEVELAND'S RUN WITH TRIPLE, wrote Ed Burns in the “Chicago Daily Tribune” the day after Feller’s opening day no-hitter. “It was a treat day yesterday for baseball rejoicing or brooding, according to the mood and the inspiration. What would you do on a rainy, cold day if you were just over having participated on the winning side of a no-hit season opener,” he continued. Feller remembers that his arm was sore before pitching on opening day 1940, which turned out to be one of his best years. He had pitched two days before in an exhibition game in Cleveland against the Giants. “I never pitched well in the spring,” he said. In his 1947 autobiography, “Strikeout Story,” ghost-written by Frank Gibbons of the Cleveland Press, he noted that, “I can honestly say that I have pitched many better games…I was lucky that day and I got fine support.” “Bobby Feller, the 21-year-old miracle boy from Van Meter, IA, pitched a no-hit game yesterday and the Cleveland Indians won the season opener from the White Sox, 1-0,” blared the papers the next day.
