How Sweep it Is! Florida Wins World Series Wednesday, October 9th , 2080 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 2080, as the Florida Flamingos topped the California Firehawks 6-1 tonight at Florida Man Park to win the World Series. It was the 11th 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 Florida left fielder Peyton Shoelace, who was named series MVP. The Flamingos took the series 4-0. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the East Division and a 64-44 record. Florida manager grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Shoelace's words. "Peyton said it best -- we played better than the other team," the skipper said. Hometown officials announced they were already planning a "grand celebration" for the winners in the days to come.
