League Park, Cleveland, Sept 19, 1945 - Just weeks earlier baseball greats Hank Greenberg and Bob Feller were on same team taking on the Axis powers. Now with WW2 over they square off like old times. Feller got the best of Hank and his Tigers in one-hit shutout in a 2-0 Tribe win

Bob Feller warms up at Cleveland Municipal Stadium on June 27, 1939 for the city’s first night game. This led to more games being shifted from League Park (which never added lights) during the era when the @Indians utilized both parks, 1936 to 1946. Thx ⁦@OTBaseballPhoto⁩

Good shot of Larry Doby in 1974 when he served at the first base coach for the Indians. The coaches’ caps had the extra white piping (the players caps didn’t have that.)

Spahn only coached for Cleveland in ‘72 & ‘73, but wore *three* different style of uniforms in that time. (‘71 Unis in ‘72 Spring Training, ‘72 Unis, and the ‘73 Uni in the tweet above)
