The New York Yankees clinched the franchises 27th World Series with a 7-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 6. This was the first year of a turn around, complete with a new Yankees Stadium and a new batch of All Stars with Mark Teixeira and CC Sabathia. The title was simply a perfect way for the Yankees to end the 2009 MLB season after going 0 for the new century.

The Yankees won with a combination of a deadly offense and remarkable pitching. New York scored the most runs in the American League and had the fourth best ERA in the AL. This team had the balance few teams, even few World Series champions have had.

Derek Jeter enjoyed a renaissance year, hitting .334 with 18 homeruns, 107 runs, and 30 stolen bases. Second baseman Robinson Cano did his part hitting .320 with 25 homeruns and 103 runs. First baseman Mark Teixeira did what he was paid to do, drive the baseball well beyond the outfield fences. He hit 39 home runs to tie for the lead in the AL. The list of stellar offensive performances goes on and on. Johnny Damon, Hideki Matsui, and Nick Swisher eclipsed the 20 homerun mark and Alex Rodriguez hit 30. Brett Gardner was a force on the base paths off the bench with 26 stolen bases.

The Yanks could pitch the baseball too. CC Sabathia overcame a rough start to go 19-8 with a 3.37 ERA. Coming into the postseason everyone was worried that A.J. Burnett and Andy Pettitte would break down, but they remained solid options. In fact Pettitte won the deciding game in every playoff series.

The simple reality is that the New York Yankees dominated the second half schedule and blew by the Boston Red Sox on their way to first place in the AL East and the best record in baseball at 103-59. Every one will be in a hurry for New York Yankees tickets for the second season at new Yankee Stadium.
