The Kid from Cleveland

The Kid from Cleveland

The Kid from Cleveland is a 1949 film which told the story of a "troubled teenaged fan" being helped by his favorite baseball team - the Cleveland Indians. The Indians had just won the 1948 World Series and many of the team's players made appearances along with owner Bill Veeck, co-owner and former Major League Baseball star Hank Greenberg, and current coach and Baseball Hall-of-Famer Tris Speaker. Also featured were the team's current and former ballparks, Cleveland Municipal Stadium and League Park.
