Mets KO Orioles

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 1972, as the New York Mets topped the Baltimore Orioles 2-1 tonight at Shea Stadium to win the World Series. It was the 2nd 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 New York starting pitcher Tom Seaver, who was named series MVP.

The Mets took the series 4-1. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the National League East Division and a 98-64 record.

New York manager Geoff Matt grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Seaver's words.

"Tom 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.
