Florida Wins World Series Crown
The Florida 1997 Marlins rolled over the Cleveland 1997 Indians 11-7 at Jacobs Field to easily win the 1997 World Series crown.

Florida 1997 won in a walk and swept the series from the Indians 1-0. It was their 1st championship title.

Winning manager Simyou Lator Engine praised his own club as well as the opposition, calling the Indians "a fine team."

"It wasn't as easy as it looked. We had to play good baseball to beat them," he said. "We always seemed to come up with the key hit at the right time and to make the plays on defense when we had to. That's how you win the World Series."

The Marlins took 0th place in the Division 1 and rounded out the year with a 0-0 record.
