Hawks Triumph in 1954 World Series
The Chicago Hawks were good enough to get past the Detroit Wolverines at Hyde Park Stadium today and secure the 1st championship in franchise history.

"When you wear Hawks on your shirt, you're good at something," Chicago skipper Barry Lolicht told the press.

Hawks left fielder Jim Griffin was named MVP of the series after he went .556 with 3 home runs and 10 RBI.

"It feels totally incredible," Griffin 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 18-4 victory over the Wolverines to win the World Series 4-1.
