Indians Win Wild One in Series Opener at Polo Grounds
Cleveland and New York battled to a 5-3 win for the Indians in the opening game of the 1954 World Series. Rhodes hit a ninth inning homer after a tense 2-2 tie, with Maglie pitching through the late innings and Wertz driving in key runs. The wind and field played odd roles as Cats and Dawgs traded chances, and a defensive miscue helped Cleveland lift the trophy in a dramatic finish.
