The crowd is shown outside of Municipal Stadium before Game 4 of the 1948 World Series on Saturday, October 9. The nearly 82,000 fans at the game set a World Series attendance record. The record was promptly broken the following day by the crowd showing up at Municipal Stadium for Game 5.
The Indians beat the Boston Braves 2-1 in Game 4. Larry Doby, who the previous year became the first African-American to play in the American League, hit a key home run to seal the Indians' victory.
