The New York Yankees bolted from the dugout even before the last grounder was scooped up. After waiting nine years for championship No. 27, no one would dare hold them back. ( Ecstasy in the Bronx! Yankees win title No. 27... )
"It feels better than I remember it, man," captain Derek Jeter said. "It's been a long time."
Hideki Matsui tied a World Series record with six RBIs, Andy Pettittewon on short rest and New York beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-3 in Game 6 on Wednesday night, finally seizing that elusive title — the most in all of sports.
Paint the town in pinstripes! Nearly a decade after their dynasty ended on a blooper in the desert, the Yankees are baseball's best again.
( I am not a fan of the Yankees but I must tip my hat to them and their fans. You are the champs! Also to the Phillies and their fans good year. It takes a lot of work just to get a chance to win the title two years in a row.)
