St. Louis Explorers Win World Series
The St. Louis Explorers were good enough to get past the New York Knickerbockers at Castle Point Field today and secure the 6th championship in franchise history.

"When you wear Explorers on your shirt, you're good at something," St. Louis skipper told the press.

Explorers second baseman Jim Payne was named MVP of the series after he went .450 with no home runs and 5 runs batted in.

"It feels totally incredible," Payne said. "I could live to 1,000 years old and I'd remember this moment."

The new champions capped off a great season with a 11-3 victory over the Knickerbockers to win the World Series 4-2.
