Championship Baseball – Many fans will tell you that Cleveland has only won two World Championships, in 1920 and 1948. Real students of the game know that Cleveland also can claim a third championship. The Cleveland Buckeyes, who represented Cleveland for six seasons in the Negro American League, won the Negro World Series in 1945. The Buckeyes played their home games at League Park, which was also home to Cleveland's American League team – known at various times as the Bronchos, the Blues, the Naps and finally the Indians – from 1901 to 1946. A portion of League Park – now a city playground – still stands and is marked by an historical marker. |
