Starting Out

The Cleveland Indians became a charter member of the American League in 1901. It wasn’t until 1920 that they reached and won their first World Series. The Indians then went into another long draught, finishing as high as 2nd only twice over the next 27 years. All of that changed in 1948 when player-manager Lou Boudreau became the youngest Manager to win the World Series. The Indians remained competitive over the next few years even setting an American League record of 111 wins in 1954 that stood for 44 years.
