Louisville Tops Chicago Saturday, September 11th , 1897 It's party time in Louisville. The confetti is flying and residents are smiling. The Louisville Colonels have reached the mountaintop, capturing the 1897 World Series today. They defeated the Chicago Colts 6-2 at Eclipse Park II to officially wrap up the series 4-2. Asked how it feels to be champion, first baseman Tom McCreery was to the point. "It feels great, like a million bucks. I'm so happy right now, not just for me but for all the guys," he said. "We put a lot of work into this and deserve to be champions." The team is planning a victory parade and fan appreciation day later in the week. Louisville finished the regular season 86-54 and claimed first place in the American League. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
