Agreed, the 1919 Reds were better than history tells. Unfortunately we'll never know how good because the Sox were crooked...

And just because it's my area of collecting interest and my hometown, Indianapolis has had a pro team since 1876. The franchise changed several times, spent several years in the early NL, WL, AA, etc... as the Blues and the Hoosiers and the current Indians franchise began in 1902. Apparently, and I don't have much info on it, but the Chicago White Stockings (Cubs) played games in Indianapolis in 1878. My hometown has a rich Pro ball history...

The midwest was swarming with teams in the early baseball years. I love that era, impossible to completely understand, but fun...

Cheers,

Jim
