Reds KO Athletics
|
The
Cincinnati 1972 Reds
are champions, today and forever. The Reds topped the
Oakland 1972 Athletics
2-1 at Oakland Coliseum today to claim the World Series crown.
"Nobody can take this away from us, not ever," said series MVP and starting pitcher
Don Gullett
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 Cincinnati 1972 manager Simyou Lator Engine. "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 Reds took the series 1-0. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a 0th-place finish in the Division 1 and a 0-0 record.
