During the Cleveland Indians' checkered 110-year history, only two of its teams have brought home baseball's ultimate prize. While the 1948 team continues to be revered by Clevelanders, little has been written about the 1920 team that won the city's first pennant and World Series.

This chronicle of that extraordinary season highlights an overlooked chapter in the history of one of baseball's most beloved underdogs.
