Yankees get another trophy. #27

START SPREADING THE NEWS!!!!!

The New York Yankees are the Champions of the World.

They defeated the Philadelphia Phillies to win the 2009 World Series for the 27th time in franchise history. Call it money, call it high priced talent, call it the greedy, but whatever the case, the boys in pinstripes made it happen again.

7-3 was the final from the new Yankee Stadium.

Alex RodriguezAlex Rodriguez collects his first. Derek JeterDerek Jeter latches on to another. Johnny DamonJohnny Damon picks up one with his second team. The Yankee magic continues in the Bronx.

The goal and the mission was to win the entire thing after the Steinbrenner family invested and built a $1-billion modern day Yankee Stadium. They acquired a smart, disciplined, and intellectual manager in Joe GirardiJoe Girardi. They sought out and convinced C.C. Sabathia, A.J. BurnettA.J. Burnett, and Mark TeixeiraMark Teixeira to sign on with a team of stars and they all made it happen.

Even pitcher Andy PettitteAndy Pettitte, after all the steroid controversy, can finally smile up to the baseball gods and say thank you.

Are the Yankees deserving of the championship? Did they simply pay for the darn thing? Do you hate New York? Maybe yes to all or some, maybe no to all or some. But one thing for sure the drought is finally over in the Big Apple.

After nine years the Bronx-bombers once again bring home the World Series title and they win it in front of the hometown crowd. Even those fortunate enough to spend more than $1,000 for a seat per game during the regular season. How sweet it is. Even former White Sox nutty guy Nick SwisherNick Swisher gets a ring.

29 homers during the season and most of them on the road. What a great teammate and quite an acquisition by the organization.

And son Hal the new GM of the team, was so elated after the victory, that he shouted out to daddy George SteinbrennerGeorge Steinbrenner during the post game celebration who was watching from home, and said “Dad this one’s for you.”

The Boss gets his wish. Another title!

A-Rod finally had the opportunity to hoist the trophy as a World Series Champion after an incredible post-season performance including five homeruns while also being binged three times.

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, the Yankees do it the right way. They pay, they play, they win.

Hideki MatsuiHideki Matsui was named the game’s MVP after killing the Phils pitching, including Game 6 hurler Pedro Martinez. Godzilla belted in six runs in leading the Yanks to the 4-2 series victory over the defending champs.

What a night in New York. Lady Liberty certainly is standing proud sitting in the Hudson River just outside the city that never sleeps.

The captain Jeter once again held the trophy in the house that HE built, and super closer Mariano RiveraMariano Rivera was so ecstatic that he predicted that he would return to play for the squad for another 5 more years.

And just think, it all started in spring training. These guys just seem to play the game the right way, and when that happens, everyone can now see what the results are.

The White Sox tasted that magic in 2005. Let’s hope the Cubs can share in the experience come 2010. The Ricketts, new owners of the organization, made a prediction after paying $850-million for the team, that there would be a World Series victory on the north side. The only question not answered was when.

Hopefully, the new family will be able to tell their fans very, very soon, “This one’s for you.” Congrats to the 2009 World Series Champions. The New York Yankees.
