Yanks Win the World Series
Allow me to be one of the very first to congratulate the New York Yankees on their World Series win.
It’s been a long nine years since the Yankees won a World Series. They dominated baseball back then, and they’ve finally returned to form after a number of unsuccessful playoff runs.
The Yankees had their eye on a World Series win all along. Having acquired some of the biggest free agent talents in baseball over the winter, the stakes were very high in New York and everyone was looking for a World Series win.
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 contributions from the team’s newer players should definitely be noted. Johnny Damon was excellent through and through. CC Sabathia and AJ Burnett were stellar in the playoffs, and Mark Teixeira was arguably the best hitter on the team, as he hit more home runs than anyone else on the Yankees, or in the AL for that matter.
Perhaps the biggest surprise was the fact that Alex Rodriguez was the team’s most clutch hitter during the playoffs. Typically a player who would get big hits when they didn’t matter and falter under pressure, Rodriguez was anything but that during October.
The Yankees remained focus through the entire season and never really seemed to let up. This is the mark of a true championship team, and the Yankees epitomized this in 2009.
The 2009 baseball season was marked by the incredible success of the New York Yankees. That makes it 27 World Series wins now.
