The 1920 Major League Baseball season was notable for several reasons, including the introduction of the designated hitter rule in the American League. The season featured a total of 16 teams, with the Cleveland Indians winning the American League pennant and the Brooklyn Robins taking the National League title. The World Series that year saw the Cleveland Indians face off against the Robins. The Indians emerged victorious, winning the series 5 games to 2, marking their first championship in franchise history. This season also marked the beginning of the infamous Black Sox Scandal that would later impact the sport.
