It's Over! Oakland Defeats Cincinnati
It was all about winning for the Oakland 1972 Athletics -- and win they did.

There was nothing fancy in how they went about it, players said, they just prepared mentally and physically and then went out and played baseball.

"We did the little things right and we did the big things right," said starting pitcher Ken Holtzman , who was named series MVP. "Now we're the league champions."

Oakland 1972 defeated the Cincinnati 1972 Reds by a score of 2-1 at Oakland Coliseum to take the series 1-0.

"Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you make your own luck," said Oakland 1972 manager Simyou Lator Engine. "We got lucky a few times, but mostly we did the right things by being prepared for each game and playing the game the way it's meant to be played."
