AMERICANS WIN SERIES, 4-2

Series MVP: Red Ames/Bill Dinneen

Well, the Americans are superior to baseball. So much for that "already world champions" John McGraw tried to pull off. That's it for now. Oh yeah, and please vote for the series MVP winner, because from now on, your votes make up 50% of the voting!
