I thought so, but it’s cool Matsui got it though! He has been around for a long time and finally got some recognition for his work!

Mariano was clearly the real MVP.

I guess now I can change to 28/10! I was signing off with 27/09 on every post (in 2008) on another blog. Great time to be a Yankee fan…now, maybe Joe G (and Cash) will get the congratulations and recognition they so rightly earned.
The TEAM won this WS, not any one individual. Even those like Cano, Tex, Brett and Swisher did their part in this Play-off/WS win…none of them hit that well but we won and they all helped. We always look at the stars of the games and forget about the guy that laid down a bunt, took the extra base or hit to right etc., it truly takes a team to win.
Not too much credit can be given to the pitching staff, there were a few bumps in the road but, they got the job done.
Again we were witness to the fact; good pitching stops good power hitters.
Congratulations to the World Champions…New York Yankees of 2009!

Yanks with 27 world series in 86 years (I know some teams go 86 wins between world series) average a world series win a little over every 3 years. That explains why the 9 year wait is considered a drought (and I read this morning that the 9 years was the 3rd longest drought since the yanks started winning in 1923). Are we spoiled? A little bit but thank God I’m a Yankees fan (thanks Dad and big brothers)!!!
