League Park, Cleveland, 9/22/39 - Tigers rookie Roy Cullenbine rounds first after hitting his first of two HRs off Indians ace Bob Feller. This was a 3-run shot in 4th inning and he would later hit a solo blast in 7th. But it wasn't enough as Feller and Cleveland still won 5-4

Opposite League Park’s first base line grandstand along East 66th St. was a slew of businesses. Other than Gensert’s Drug Store at the NW corner of 66th & Lexington, this is the first photo to surface!... twitter.com/historyboyle/s…

League Park, Cleveland, 1908 - This 9,000-seat wooden ballpark was originally built for the legendary Cleveland Spiders (Google them and 1899) in 1887 and is two years away from a complete makeover that would give it an upper deck and increase its capacity to 24,414

How about this #Indians jersey announcing to the world that they had won the #WorldSeries in 1920? An idea for the #Astros? The player, George Burns, is 1 of the most overlooked of the 20s. He was MVP in '26 & had career .307 BA. Read his @sabr bio here sabr.org/bioproj/person…

These guys might as well have been representing Cooperstown; half of the 1911 AL "All-Star" team would end up in the #HOF. This early example of an All-Star game was held to commemorate the passing of Addie Joss. #SaturdaySwag

This was my great-grandfather’s work, at E 66th & Lex. The shadow you see across the top of the buildings was the 1B side of @Indians old home, @LeagueParkCle. Oddly enough, my other gt gpts lived right where Prog. Field is today
