 | Blue Sox Triumph in 2005 World Series Sunday, October 2nd, 2005 It's party time in Sydney. The confetti is flying and residents are smiling. The Sydney Blue Sox have reached the mountaintop, capturing the 2005 World Series today. They defeated the Augusta Green Jackets 19-5 at Samurai Ballpark to officially wrap up the series 4-1. Asked how it feels to be champion, right fielder Elmer Smith 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. Sydney finished the regular season 101-43 and claimed first place in the House Lannister. |   |
