This 12 page newspaper has a two column headline on the front page:
* Bearden Is Undisputed Hero of Cleveland's Series Triumph, 'Give Him All Credit'- Boudreau
with three column photo. (see)
Other news of the day throughout. Light browning with little margin wear, otherwise good.
wikipedia notes: The 1948 World Series matched the Cleveland Indians against the Boston Braves. The Braves had won the National League pennant for the first time since the "Miracle Braves" team of 1914. The Indians spoiled a chance for the only all-Boston World Series by winning a one-game playoff against the Boston Red Sox. Though superstar pitcher Bob Feller failed to win either of his two starts, the Indians won the Series in six games to capture their second championship and their first since 1920 (as well as their last to the present date).
It was the first World Series to be televised on a nationwide network and was announced by famed sportcasters Red Barber and Van Patrick.[1]
Both teams would meet again in the 1995 World Series - by that time, the Braves had moved to Atlanta.
