Indians Beat Marlins in World Series
It's party time in Cleveland 1997. The confetti is flying and residents are smiling.

The Cleveland 1997 Indians have reached the mountaintop, capturing the 1997 World Series today. They defeated the Florida 1997 Marlins 5-3 at Jacobs Field to officially wrap up the series 1-0.

Asked how it feels to be champion, third baseman Matt D Williams 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. Cleveland 1997 finished the regular season 0-0 and claimed 0th place in the Division 1.
