Uhle Fell into Obscurity After Standout Career for Tribe
August 3, 2016 | Vince GuerrieriHe’s eighth in team history in wins, sixth in losses, tenth in games started and eighth in innings pitched. Twice he led the American League in wins, and no less an authority than Babe Ruth called him the toughest pitcher he’d ever faced.

Heroes of 1920 On Hand to see Tribe take Game Three
March 15, 2014 | Steve EbyOctober 9, 1948
It was the first World Series game that triple play man Bill Wambsganss had seen since his Cleveland Indians defeated the Brooklyn Robins in Game Seven in 1920. The grand slam man, Elmer Smith, had seen a few since, however.
“This is the first series I’ve seen since our 1920 victory,” Wamby said in an article originally from The Plain Dealer. “Elmer, of course, played in two other series’ with the New York Yankees.”
