Cleveland Indians: 1924 World Series Champions (3rd title)
1919 1920 1924

“Well folks, the Cleveland Indians have done it again — this time for all the marbles! Final score: Cleveland 3, Milwaukee 2, and for the third time in franchise history, the Indians are on top of the baseball world!
Let’s go over how it happened. The Brewers jumped out early — A. Garcia took one deep in the first inning to give Milwaukee the lead, and you could almost hear the cheese curds cheering back in Wisconsin. But Cleveland wasn’t about to let the beer boys celebrate long. Pat Kresse doubled, Santiago knocked him in, and we were tied at one before half the crowd had even sat down with their peanuts.
From there, it was a good old-fashioned pitcher’s duel. Mike Niccolai — remember that name — was dealing. Eight and two-thirds innings, nine strikeouts, only four hits allowed, and about a gallon of sweat left out there on the mound. The guy looked like he was throwing aspirin tablets.
Then came the seventh inning stretch — Kresse steps up again, ropes a double off the wall, and the place goes bananas. Santiago brings him home, Indians take the lead, and they never looked back.
Milwaukee tried to rally in the ninth, but when manager Kevin Neubauer finally went to the pen, Shane Ramirez came in, threw six pitchs, and that was all she wrote!
Pat Kresse, your Series MVP, said it best: ‘We played better than the other team.’ Not exactly Shakespeare, but hey, it’s true. The Indians take the series four games to one, and there’s going to be one heck of a party on Euclid Avenue tonight.
So there you have it — Cleveland 3, Milwaukee 2, the Indians are champions of baseball. For all you Brewers fans out there, better luck next year... and for everyone here in Cleveland, crack open a cold one — responsibly, of course — and enjoy it.
I’m Harry Doyle saying... Cleveland wins it all! 11 wins in 12 games! Holy cow, what a ride!” ��⚾
