Angels Top Oaks
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 Los Angeles Angels topped the Oakland Oaks 3-2 tonight at Oaks Park to win the Nyquist Trophy Series. It was the 5th league 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 the West," said Los Angeles left fielder Wally Berger, who was named series MVP.

The Angels took the series 3-1. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the Coast League and a 83-72 record.

Los Angeles manager George Scales grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Berger's words.

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