Allow me to be one of the very first to congratulate the New York Yankees on their World Series win.
It's been a long nine years since the Yankees won a World Series. They dominated baseball back then, and they've finally returned to form after a number of unsuccessful playoff runs.
The Yankees had their eye on a World Series win all along. Having acquired some of the biggest free agent talents in baseball over the winter, the stakes were very high in New York and everyone was looking for a World Series win.
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.
The veterans of the Yankees came together with some newly acquired talent to form a team that was as powerful as any in recent memory, and they played consistently the whole way through.
The Yankees can thank both their veterans and their newly acquired talent for this win. Mariano Rivera pitched as well as he ever has. Derek Jeter was clutch, and Jorge Posada made some great contributions too. CC Sabathia anchored an incredibly talented starting pitching staff.
Perhaps the biggest surprise was the fact that Alex Rodriguez was the team's most clutch hitter during the playoffs. Typically a player who would get big hits when they didn't matter and falter under pressure, Rodriguez was anything but that during October.
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. - 31492
