The Yankees won the World Series for the 27th time. On Wednesday, they beat the Philadelphia Phillies , 7-3. The Yankees won four games in the best-of-seven series. The Phillies won two.
In Game 6 Wednesday, the Yankees gave their home crowd a lot to cheer about. Japanese slugger Hideki Matsui smacked a homer, a single, and a double. Each hit brought in two runs. That gave him six runs batted in (RBIs) for the night. Matsui won the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award for the Series.

“Winning the championship is such a great feeling,” Matsui said. “I guess you can say that this is the best moment of my life right now.”
The National League (NL) Phillies won the World Series last year. They had hoped to win the title two years in a row. But the American League (AL) Yankees were too strong. The Yankees won the Series for the first time since beating the New York Mets in 2000.
The Yankees have played in the Series 40 times since the first World Series in 1903. That is a record in baseball. So is the team’s 27 World Series wins. The St. Louis Cardinals hold second place, with 10 Series wins.
Big Win in a New HomeYankees fans are always hungry for a trophy. But winning the World Series this year is especially sweet. The Yankees started the year in a brand-new Yankee Stadium. It replaced the old Yankee Stadium that was built in 1923. That was the place where the Yankees found so much glory. Bringing the World Series trophy to the new stadium says that the old Yankee glory is alive and well.

I think the Yankees can win it the 28th time next year of course. I like the Yankees because they have won lots of times and they are a cool team. They are a cool team because they have the best players like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, and Yogi Berra.
ReplyDeleteThose are some of the best players. I like them especially
Because there colors White, Navy Blue. Those are some of my favorite colors.
