About This Item
Cleveland: Cleveland Indians, 1948. Wraps. Very good. Satpled soft cover. 16 pages. Contents includes a two page score card of the Philadelphia A's vs. Cleveland Indians; an article with photograph of Leroy Stachel Paige; photographs of Hall of Fame Trio of Don Black, Bob Lemon, and Bob Feller, and several advertisements. From wikipedia:
Finally, on July 7, 1948, with his Cleveland Indians in a pennant race and in desperate need of pitching,[citation needed] Indians owner Bill Veeck brought Paige in to try out with Indians player-manager Lou Boudreau. On that same day, his 42nd birthday, Paige signed his first major league contract, for $40,000 for the three months remaining in the season, becoming the first Negro pitcher in the American League and the seventh Negro big leaguer overall.[124] Larry Doby, who broke the color barrier in the American League at the age of 23 the same year Robinson did in the National League, would be a teammate of Paige.
