The 1920 World Series was renowned for several feats, highlighted by the only triple play, the first grand slam and the first home run by a pitcher - all of which occurred in Game 5, if you can believe it. Here's Cleveland's press pin for games held at League Park, and it is in NRMT condition with threaded post on the back. It was manufactured by Whitehead & Hoag with their stamp prominent on the back. The Indians - who beat the Dodgers in the Best-of-Nine Series, won to honor the memory of their former shortstop Ray Chapman, who had been killed earlier that year after having been struck in the head by a pitch.
