Brooklyn Wins 1892 World's Championship Series!
Sometimes the winner is the one who got the lucky bounces and the lucky calls, and sometimes the winner is just the one who played better.

It was the latter case in 1892, as the Brooklyn Bluebirds topped the New York Knickerbockers 8-6 tonight at Brooklyn Field to win the World's Championship Series. It was the 3rd title in franchise history.

"When you play for championships, you have to play better than the team in the other dugout. We did that in this series, and all year. Now we're the best team in baseball," said Brooklyn center fielder Laurence Tucker, who was named series MVP.

The Bluebirds took the series 5-4. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the American and a 90-50 record.

Brooklyn manager grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Tucker's words.

"Laurence said it best -- we played better than the other team," he said.

Hometown officials announced they were already planning a "grand celebration" for the winners in the days to come.
