Few, if any, World Series championship teams faced as much adversity as did the 1920 Cleveland Indians. Among the obstacles they faced during the season were the death of their star pitcher's wife; the shadow of the Chicago 'Black Sox' scandal; and the deadly beaning of shortstop Ray Chapman. This chronicle of that incredible season highlights an overlooked chapter in history of one of baseball's most beloved underdogs.
