Sometimes the winner is the one who got the lucky bounces and the lucky calls, and sometimes the winner is just the one who played better.

It was the latter case in 1937, as the New York Yankees topped the St. Louis Cardinals 10-2 tonight at Yankee Stadium to win the Eastern Championship Series. It was the 3rd title in franchise history.

"When you play for championships, you have to play better than the team in the other dugout. We did that in this series, and all year. Now we're the best team in baseball," said New York catcher Bill Dickey, who was named series MVP.

The Yankees took the series 4-2. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the American League and a 107-47 record.

New York manager grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Dickey's words.

"Bill said it best -- we played better than the other team," he said.
