TEAMS: New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies
NEW YORK -- The New York Yankees got what they paid for Wednesday: a World Series championship.
Led by the slugging of Hideki Matsui, one of nine Yankees with an eight-figure salary, New York beat the Phillies 7-3 in Game 6 to win their 27th World Series. Clinching the championship in the first year at their new stadium will go down as one reason to remember the 105th World Series.
But most of the memories were made on the field.
A DH is MVP
In perhaps his final game as a Yankee, Matsui drove in six runs -- tying a World Series record -- and became the first designated hitter to be named MVP. Matsui hit a two-run homer off Pedro Martinez in the second inning, added a two-run single in the third and blew the game open with a two-run double in the fifth. The soon-to-be free agent finished the Series hitting .615 with eight RBIs, despite being relegated to three pinch-hit appearances in Philadelphia (he homered in one of them).

Hideki Matsui Makes A Statement…
The scuttlebutt has been that once the season was finished, the NY Yankees would make a decision whether to re-sign Johnny Damon or Hideki Matsui to a new contract but that the Yankees would not re-sign both. I do not know when it became apparent to the seers making such pronouncements that frugality had [...]
2009- Baseball Magic
Last night the New York Yankees did something that they haven't done in nearly a decade. They reversed the trend of steady decline I've seen since I first became a fan in '04, they gave many young fans their first championship, they won one for the Boss, they vanquished the demons of '04 and '01 by pummeling an old villain, and they proved to everyone that the...

Your 2009 World Champion New York Yankees Thrilled Me
Last night, the scrappy, upstart Yankees took down the defending World F'in Champions in a 7-3 game that was never really that close. With the win, the Yanks took the World Series four games to two and, within minutes of receiving the trophy, began speculating on how to dissect and construct the team for the 2010 season. I think it's ridiculous that fans can actually walk...
