"The last time the Cleveland Indians won the World Series was in 1948 -- in Boston, but the series was not at Fenway Park.The team won the World Series on Oct. 11, 1948 at Braves Field, which is now Boston University’s Nickerson Field.The 1948 World Series matched the Indians against the Boston Braves, who won the National League pennant.The Indians made it to the series by winning a one-game playoff against the Boston Red Sox, spoiling the chance for an all-Boston World Series.The playoff game was needed after the Sox and the Boston Braves finished the season with identical win-loss records.It was the first-ever one-game playoff in the American League.Sixty-year years later, the Indians are hosting Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs, who have not won a World Series since 1908.Get the WCVB News App"
