This Pride of Ohio segment salutes the 1945 Cleveland Buckeyes who were the champs of the Negro League World Series. The Buckeyes who played their home games at League Park were always competitive. In '45 the Bucks beat powerful home run hitter Josh Gibson and the Homestead Grays to take the title. Great pitching by the Buckeyes and timely hitting by Cleveland's Sam Jethro swept the Grays 4 games to none.
