San Francisco Defeats Denver
Saturday, October 23rd , 1976
The San Francisco Seagulls earned their 3rd World Series title and now have all winter to spend basking in the glory, while the beaten Denver Burros will have plenty of time to wonder what went wrong.
San Francisco became the Major League Baseball champion for 1976 with a 8-4 triumph to capture the series 4-1.
"Both clubs are talented. We just made fewer mistakes than they did," winning manager Al Borie said to the press corps at the postgame press conference. "We made the crucial plays and got the timely hits."
Denver skipper Clark Anderson agreed with that assessment, saying his club turned out to be "a little weak on fundamentals" at crucial times.
"I have a sneaking suspicion we will be working on fundamentals a lot next spring," he said.
On the way to the World Series championship, the Seagulls ended up in second place in the American Baseball League Western Division and compiled a 92-70 record during the regular season.

League Championship Series Goes the Distance, Denver Prevails
Saturday, October 16th , 1976
When the entire season comes down to one game, Guillaume Moret said you find out what a team is really about.
As it turns out, the Denver Burros are made of fight and tenacity, as the team got by the Pittsburgh Industrials 7-3 tonight at Gates Crescent Park in order to win the League Championship Series and book a place in the next round.
"It wasn't hard to get excited for this game," said Moret, whose strong offensive output earned him MVP honors. "Our guys answered the call and proved a lot about what our team is all about."
Moret hit .440 with a .576 on-base percentage. He had 1 home runs, drove in 2 RBI and scored 11 runs.
The Denver Burros will play against the San Francisco Seagulls in the next round. San Francisco won their series against the Houston Drillers 4 games to 1. The World Series schedule will be announced after the League Championship Series finishes.
