Los Angeles Angels Capture Nyquist Trophy Series Saturday, October 7th, 1939 With a 7-6 win over the San Francisco Seals at Seals Stadium today, the Los Angeles Angels wrapped up their 6th title in team history. The Angels left little doubt who was the better team. Celebrating a banner year, "team" was the word of the day in the victorious clubhouse after the game. "Hitting, pitching, fielding; those are all things you need to win, but most importantly you need a team, a team that works together toward the same collective goal," said Los Angeles manager Al Borie. "Our players felt that way all year, and they played that way. When one guy had an off day, 24 others stepped up their game and filled the void." A jovial mood filled the air as Los Angeles celebrated into the night. The city's mayor said parade plans were underway and a "huge celebration" would be in order. "I hope they have a big celebration," San Francisco manager Mark Velez said. "They deserved to win this series and they deserve to celebrate it." View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
