Oakland Wins World Series!
With a 3-2 win over the Cincinnati 1972 Reds at Oakland Coliseum today, the Oakland 1972 Athletics wrapped up their 1st title in team history.

The Athletics left little doubt who was the better team. Celebrating a banner year, "team" was the word of the day in the victorious clubhouse after the game.

"Hitting, pitching, fielding; those are all things you need to win, but most importantly you need a team, a team that works together toward the same collective goal," said Oakland 1972 manager Simyou Lator Engine. "Our players felt that way all year, and they played that way. When one guy had an off day, 24 others stepped up their game and filled the void."

A jovial mood filled the air as Oakland 1972 celebrated into the night. The city's mayor said parade plans were underway and a "huge celebration" would be in order.

"I hope they have a big celebration," Cincinnati 1972 manager Simyou Lator Engine said. "They deserved to win this series and they deserve to celebrate it."
