World Series to Chicago
It's party time in Chicago. The confetti is flying and residents are smiling.

The Chicago Traders have reached the mountaintop, capturing the 1953 World Series today. They defeated the Boston Terriers 6-5 at Union Field to officially wrap up the series 4-3.

Asked how it feels to be champion, catcher Bobby Bivins 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. Chicago finished the regular season 92-70 and claimed first place in the National Baseball League Western Division.
