Cleveland Beats Florida in World Series
And that was all she wrote on the 1997 World Series. With a 4-1 victory, the Cleveland 1997 Indians swept aside the Florida 1997 Marlins 1-0 and set off a much-anticipated celebration.

"It was a lot of hard work," said winning manager Simyou Lator Engine. "But it was good hard work and a lot of fun along the way."

The Indians were all business this year, with their eyes fixed squarely on the goal of winning the team's 1st championship. The champs finished the regular season 0-0 and claimed 0th place in the Division 1.

"We had our doubters along the way," series MVP Charles Nagy said with a smile. "But we made them eat crow today."
