Chicago Cubs Are Champs | The Chicago Cubs are champions, today and forever. The Cubs topped the Oakland Athletics 5-1 at Wrigley Field today to claim the World Series crown.
"Nobody can take this away from us, not ever," said series MVP and left fielder Rick Peters after his club had sealed the victory. "We worked hard and we accomplished our goal."
The atmosphere was electric as the newly-crowned champs stormed the field at the conclusion of the game. Fans cheered, gloves flew in the air, high fives and hugs were the order of the day.
"From day one of spring training, I could see it in their eyes," said Chicago manager Peter Cacciamani. "The players had that look of intensity, of hunger, of a desire to accomplish something great, and today they did that. They're champions of the world."
The Cubs took the series 4-2. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the National League Central and a 107-55 record. |
