Ray Chapman, the shortstop for the Cleveland Indians, was hit in the head and killed by a pitch thrown by Carl Mays in 1920. Chapman was one of the leading shortstops in the league at the time. Joe Sewell replaced him, and went on to a Hall of Fame career. The Indians, led by Tris Speaker, won the pennant and the World Series.
