Bluebirds Win World's 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 1907, as the Brooklyn Bluebirds topped the Cincinnati Packers 2-1 tonight at Avenue U Park to win the World's Series. It was the 5th 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 starting pitcher Ice Clare, who was named series MVP.

The Bluebirds took the series 4-1. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the National Base Ball League Eastern Division and a 99-59 record.

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

"Ice 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.
