Cincinnati Takes Title
It's party time in Cincinnati 1972. The confetti is flying and residents are smiling.

The Cincinnati 1972 Reds have reached the mountaintop, capturing the 1972 World Series today. They defeated the Oakland 1972 Athletics 3-2 at Oakland Coliseum to officially wrap up the series 1-0.

Asked how it feels to be champion, starting pitcher Don Gullett 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. Cincinnati 1972 finished the regular season 0-0 and claimed 0th place in the Division 1.
