Cleveland Wins League Pennant In Rain Delayed Game
The Cleveland Indians clinched the American League pennant by beating Detroit 3 2 in Briggs Stadium. A 50 minute rain delay, led by Dale Mitchell and Jim Horgan homers, ended the Yankees’ five year run as champions. The New York Giants likely clinched the National League title with Willie Mays and Don Mueller powering a 3 1 victory over Philadelphia. Mueller reached 200 hits, first in the majors this season. World Series likely opens at the Polo Grounds before moving to Cleveland.
