New York Knickerbockers
Take World 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 1943, as the New
York Knickerbockers topped the St.
Louis Explorers 5-2 tonight at Knickerbocker
Stadium to win the World Series. It was the 14th
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 New York center fielder
Harry Ivey,
who was named series MVP.
The Knickerbockers took the series 4-3. The new
titleholders completed the regular season with a
first-place finish in the National Baseball League
Eastern Division and a 98-60 record.
New York manager grinned and nodded when asked to
comment on Ivey's words.
"Harry 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. |
