Solons Win Nyquist Trophy Series Sunday, October 7th, 1934 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 1934, as the Sacramento Solons topped the Hollywood Stars 6-5 tonight at Moreing Park to win the Nyquist Trophy 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 Sacramento catcher Josh Gibson, who was named series MVP. The Solons took the series 4-2. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the Coast League and a 85-69 record. Sacramento manager Kurt Peterson grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Gibson's words. "Josh 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. View Boxscore View Game Log |
