Explorers Triumph in 1938 World Series
It was all about winning for the St. Louis Explorers -- and win they did.

There was nothing fancy in how they went about it, players said, they just prepared mentally and physically and then went out and played baseball.

"We did the little things right and we did the big things right," said starting pitcher Brock Rutherford, who was named series MVP. "Now we're the league champions."

St. Louis defeated the New York Knickerbockers by a score of 1-0 at Castle Point Field to take the series 4-1.

"Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you make your own luck," said St. Louis manager . "We got lucky a few times, but mostly we did the right things by being prepared for each game and playing the game the way it's meant to be played."
