Yes, it's official now. The Yankees have won the 2009 World Series. After an exciting six game series with the Phillies, the series is over and the Yanks are champions.
This was an exciting season of baseball, and many had predicted that the Yankees would falter when it came down to it. They rose to the occasion when it mattered most though.
When you have the biggest payroll in baseball, one could say that a World Series win should be expected. The Yankees went on a spending spree during the off season, adding some huge names to the mix.
Hank Steinbrenner made some bold moves for a team that had just spent hundreds of millions on dollars on the development of a brand new stadium. Everyone in New York was ready for another victory.
With some of the team's original pieces still in place and near the ends of their careers, this blend of old and new was a beautiful thing to witness. The Yankees played like a team and fought to the very end.
The Yankees can thank both their veterans and their newly acquired talent for this win. Mariano Rivera pitched as well as he ever has. Derek Jeter was clutch, and Jorge Posada made some great contributions too. CC Sabathia anchored an incredibly talented starting pitching staff.
Many were shocked to see that Alex Rodriguez finally came through with some clutch hitting. Rodriguez contributed with some game changing hits, and Yankees fans will quickly forget his blunders from the past.
The Yankees came through and met the expectations that fans had placed on them. It's been a long nine years since the team's last World Series win, and this is one that the Yankees and their fans are sure to cherish.
The 2009 baseball season was marked by the incredible success of the New York Yankees. That makes it 27 World Series wins now. - 30412
