That is really cool. And both League Park and the Cleveland Plain Dealer are around yet today. Also, not only was Cleveland the first ever team to have an unassisted triple play, but Cleveland is the only team to have one in the the World Series. Bill Wambsganss repeated the feat for what then was only the second time an unassisted triple play had ever occurred in the majors during the 1920 WS.
In fact, and didn't know this myself until just looking it up, the Cleveland franchise leads the majors with one of their players executing an unassisted triple play three of the fifteen times it has happened in major league history.
