2009 World Series: New York Yankees Win 27th Championship
Congratulations to the New York Yankees, who beat the Phillies 7-3 in Game 6 of the 2009 World Series to become world champs for the 27th time. Hideki Matsui came through big time for the Yankees driving in a whopping 6 runs on his way to being the World Series MVP. Jeter, Rivera, Pettitte, and Posada now have 5 World Series rings and Sabathia, Teixeira, and yes even A-Rod now have a ring too. This team had the look of a champion for most of the season and it proved to be true. The Phillies were certainly a worthy opponent and it's really a shame one of these teams had to lose because I think they are both championship caliber teams and you don't always see that in World Series matchup.
