Athletics Triumph in 1931 Eastern Championship Series
The Philadelphia Athletics are champions, today and forever. The Athletics topped the New York Giants 5-3 at Shibe Park today to claim the Eastern Championship Series crown.

"Nobody can take this away from us, not ever," said series MVP and left fielder Al Simmons 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 Philadelphia manager . "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 Athletics took the series 4-3. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the American League and a 105-47 record.
