The Indians and Yankees, both in a tight race with the White Sox, met at the Polo Grounds on August 16th, 1920.

He was rushed to the hospital and died the next day, the only Major League Baseball player ever to be killed in a game.

The Indians, sparked by the addition of young shortstop Joe Sewell, recovered in time to win their first World Series Title. What resulted was a rivalry that would last 100 years.

Shot all around the world and showcasing iconic athletes, "True To This" is a tribute to the movement that inspired a generation and the people and places that embody that spirit today.
