Yankees Take Title
The New York Yankees are champions, today and forever. The Yankees topped the New York Giants 6-4 at Yankee Stadium I today to claim the Eastern Championship Series crown.

"Nobody can take this away from us, not ever," said series MVP and first baseman Tommy Henrich 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 New York 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 Yankees took the series 4-2. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the American League and a 102-52 record.
