Florida Tops Cleveland
|
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 1997, as the
Florida 1997 Marlins
topped the
Cleveland 1997 Indians
5-4 tonight at Jacobs Field to win the World Series. It was the 1st 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 Florida 1997 starting pitcher
Al Leiter
, who was named series MVP.
The Marlins took the series 1-0. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a 0th-place finish in the Division 1 and a 0-0 record.
Florida 1997 manager Simyou Lator Engine grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Leiter's words.
"Al 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.
