Description: 1954 newspaper CLEVELAND INDIANS WIN 111 GAMES and SET a NEW American League record for the most games won in a single season - inv # 4Q-305 SEE PHOTO----- COMPLETE, ORIGINAL NEWSPAPER, the Mobile Register (LA) dated Sept 26, 1954. This newspaper contains an inside page heading and report of the CLEVELAND INDIANS winning their 111th game and thus setting the new single season "games won" record. The former record of 110 was held by the 1927 NY Yankees. The 1954 Cleveland Indians advanced to the World Series for the first time in six years. It was the team's third American League championship in franchise history. The Indians' 111-43 record is the all-time record for winning percentage by an American League team (.721). The 111 wins is still the record for the most games ever won by an American League team in a single season. However, their great regular-season record would not be enough to win the World Series, as the Indians lost in four games to the New York Giants, after which the Indians would not return to the Fall Classic until 1995. Very good condition. This listing includes the complete entire original newspaper, NOT just a clipping or a page of it. STEPHEN A.
