You are bidding on an original 1920 World Series program issued at Brooklyn . This program is extremely rare. Featuring Brooklyn manager Wilbert Robinson on the cover, it is also one of the most displayable of all early World Series programs. The interior pages include team photos of the Brooklyn Dodgers and Cleveland Indians. The program is partially scored in pencil. /auction/2005/731.html In the 1920 World Series , the Cleveland Indians beat the Brooklyn Dodgers , then known interchangeably as the Robins in reference to their manager Wil bert Robinson , in seven games, five games to two. This series was a best-of-nine series, like the first World Series in 1903 and the World Series of 1919 and 1921. The only World Series triple play , the first World Series grand slam and the first World Series home run by a pitcher all occurred in this Series. The Indians won the series in memory of their former shortstop Ray Chapman , who had been killed earlier in the season when struck in the head by a pitched ball. The triple play was unassisted and turned by Cleveland's Bill Wambsganss in Game 5. Wambsganss, playing second base, caught a line drive off the bat of Clarence Mitchell , stepped on second base to put out Pete Kilduff , and tagged Otto Miller coming from first base. It was the second of fifteen (as of 2009) unassisted triple plays in major-league baseball history, and it remains the only one in postseason play. The fifth game also saw the first grand slam in World Series history (hit by Cleveland's Elmer Smith ) and the first Series home run by a pitcher (Cleveland's Jim Bagby, Sr. ). And in that same game, Brooklyn outhit Cleveland but lost 8–1.
