The 1920's started out with a bang for Cleveland baseball with the 1920 World Series Champions Cleveland Indians! The decade also saw the start of Negro League baseball teams in Cleveland. Those teams were often short lived and included the Tate Stars, Browns, Elites, Hornets and Tigers. Star players for the Indians in the 1920's included Jim Bagby Sr., Stan Coveleski, George Uhle, Smoky Joe Wood, Ray Chapman (before his tragic, untimely death in 1920), Charlie Jamieson, Steve O'Neill, Bill Wambsganss, Joe Sewell, Luke Sewell, Riggs Stephenson, Dutch Levsen, homer Summa, George Burns, Johnny Hodapp, Jumbo Brown, Wes Ferrell, Baby Doll Jacobson, Clint Brown, Mel Harder, Earl Averill and many more.
