Cardinals Win Eastern Championship Series Crown
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 1938, as the St. Louis Cardinals topped the New York Yankees 2-1 tonight at Yankee Stadium to win the Eastern Championship Series. It was the 4th 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 St. Louis first baseman Johnny Mize, who was named series MVP.

The Cardinals took the series 4-2. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the National League and a 95-59 record.

St. Louis manager grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Mize's words.

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

Hometown officials announced they were already planning a "grand celebration" for the winners in the days to come.
