The 1948 Cleveland Indians season was a season in American baseball. The team won a one-game playoff against the Boston Red Sox and then went on to win its second (and, so far, most recent) World Series in franchise history, its first in 28 years. Sporting News ranked the 1948 Indians the 9th-best team ever.
In the 1947–48 off-season, owner Bill Veeck signed recent St. Louis Browns manager Muddy Ruel as a coach to join player-manager Lou Boudreau and coach Bill McKechnie, the latter who was also a long-time manager.
Player transactions:
Boudreau became the first shortstop in the history of the American League to win the MVP Award.
