The Bronx Bombers Dominate Baseball Yet Again
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.
Not only did they get some great players, but they spent a boatload of money on a beautiful new stadium. The stars were all aligned in New York for a big win.
Amazingly, some of the original player from the championship Yankees teams were still in New York. Jeter, Posada, Pettitte, Rivera, and others patiently waited for another shot.
Their newly acquired players played at the level that many had expected of them. CC Sabathia pitched in vintage form through most of the year, getting better when it counted most. Andy Pettitte and AJ Burnett were very reliable, especially in the playoffs. Mark Teixeira was the best home run hitter in the American League.
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.
Congratulations to the Yankees on a magnificent 2009 season. You undoubtedly earned what you got.
