Providence Wins 1878 World Championship Series!
The Providence Grays were good enough to get past the Chicago White Stockings at Messer Street Grounds today and secure the 1st championship in franchise history.
"When you wear Grays on your shirt, you're good at something," Providence skipper Tom York told the press.
Grays center fielder Paul Hines was named MVP of the series after he went .435 with 1 home run and 7 runs batted in.
"It feels totally incredible," Hines said. "I could live to 1,000 years old and I'd remember this moment."
The new champions capped off a great season with a 8-7 victory over the White Stockings to win the World Championship Series 4-1.
