	1948 World Series by Baseball Almanac
		On October 9, 1948, a new World Series single game attendance record was set during Game 4 when 81,897 fans packed Cleveland Stadium.
		It was the first time in World Series history a fl pitcher had taken the mound.
		The first with a pair of homers was Benny Kauff of the New York Giants during the 1917 World Series and as a side note, there had already been ten (10) instances where an American League player hit two long balls.

	World Series : A Comprehensive History of the World Series by Baseball Almanac
		Every sport has their pinnacle trophy, but none is as coveted as baseball's World Series; a best of seven contest that celebrates our national pastime.
		The World Series is the crushing blow of Fred Snodgrass dropping a routine fly ball and Willie McCovey hitting the final out straight to Bobby Richardson.
		The inaugural World Series of 1903 was a resounding success and represented the first step in healing the bruised egos of both the veteran National and fledgling American Leagues.

	WhoWins(tm) -- Consecutive Missed World Series (CMWS)
		In 1995, the Atlanta Braves were only one World Series removed from their previous appearance in 1992, but the Cleveland Indians had missed 39 consecutive World Series since their previous appearance in 1954.
		In 1980, the Philadelphia Phillies had missed 29 consecutive World Series since their 1950 appearance, while the Kansas City Royals, which debuted in the 1969 MLB season, were making their first-ever World Series appearance in 1980 (taking 11 Consecutive Missed World Series into that appearance).
		In 1944, the St. Louis Cardinals were returning to the World Series fresh off their 1943 appearance (and thus with 0 CMWS), while the St. Louis Browns were making their first-ever World Series appearance in 1944, bringing 40 CMWS with them.

		Cleveland's other big winners in '48, Bob Feller and Bob Lemon, were Boudreau's pitching choices for the first two games of the World Series against Boston's other big-time representative, the Braves, who under Manager Billy Southworth had captured the National League pennant by 6 1/2 games.
		Since Feller had broken into the majors in 1936, the World Series wait had been a long one for the 29-year-old Iowan, and the hard-throwing righthander pitched superbly in his fall-classic debut.
		Cleveland prevailed against the Braves despite the Series slumps of Joe Gordon and Ken Keltner and the failure of Feller to beat the National Leaguers.
