Industrials Triumph in 1931 World Series
It's party time in Pittsburgh. The confetti is flying and residents are smiling.

The Pittsburgh Industrials have reached the mountaintop, capturing the 1931 World Series today. They defeated the New York Knickerbockers 11-5 at Allegheny Field to officially wrap up the series 4-2.

Asked how it feels to be champion, left fielder Dick Norris was to the point.

"It feels great, like a million bucks. I'm so happy right now, not just for me but for all the guys," he said. "We put a lot of work into this and deserve to be champions."

The team is planning a victory parade and fan appreciation day later in the week. Pittsburgh finished the regular season 96-62 and claimed first place in the National Baseball League Western Division.
