This decade constitutes an oddness in the history of the Yankees. Accustomed to collecting World Series, the years that continued to his title of 2000, characterized by the trophies absence, they can be catalogued like “a few periods in the hell” for the fanatics of the team that plays in the Bronx.
But that ended this year. His proprietor, George Steinbrenner, the 79-year-old owner who has never vacillated to hire the most expensive players on the market, armed the best team that the money can buy, opened a new stadium that cost thousand 500 million dollars and hoped that the investment should yield fruits.
And go that it gave them. After the game 6 of the World Series 2009, the Yankees could exhale finally after almost ten years of drought of qualifications and shout “champions“ again.
During the presentation of the trophy, the giant screen of the stadium exhibited a message dedicated to Steinbrenner: "’Chief, this is for you”.
Also significant was to see Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte, Jorge Posada and captain Derek Jeter bathing in champagne.
The four, the nucleus of the team that made debut together in the middle of last decade, will be able to extract the measurement for a fifth ring.
“ All these qualifications have been a blessing, all of them are enjoyed by me equally and more along with my everlasting friends”, he declared Rivera.
“ We are going to celebrate and very much”, said the catcher Placed when they mentioned him that the city prepares a parade with confetti for Friday, the 6th. “It is never known when you will live through anything again like this”.
In the sixth game, on Wednesday, the 4th, Pettitte ratified his champion's lineage on having spread three careers and four hits in five innings and two thirds to stretch to 18 his victories record in postemporada games, in what was his first opening with three days of rest from September, 2006.
The left-handed one of 37 years, which granted five tickets and ponchó to three, was the victorious one in each of three decisive parties this postemporada.
The manager of the Yankees, Joe Girardi, gained three rings like catcher of the team in the 90 under the baton of Joe Torre. It took the reins in 2007, but his cycle started badly when the Yankees stayed out of the playoffs for the first time after 13 years and in his last campaign in the old stadium.
This humiliation was what propitiated an investment for 435,5 million dollars to acquire the three most quoted available free agents: Sabathia, Burnett and Mark Teixeira.
For his part, Philadelphia remained with the desire of turning into the first club in confirming the scepter from the Yankee ones of 2000, as well as emulating the Red ones of Cincinnati, which between 1975-76 were the last team of the National League in repeating.
“ We will return”, said the manager of the Filis, Charlie Manuel. “We are going to be better the next year”. Below 3-2 in the series, the Filis coded his hopes in the arm of Pedro Martínez, an old man némesis of the Yankees. But the Dominican scarcely lasted four episodes with 77 throwings, allowing four notes and three hits.

The Japanese Hideki Matsui has one of the most peculiar habits on having gone towards the batting box. It never does a practice swing before receiving the first throwing.
It seemed that it was reserving them.
Matsui was a hurricane on Wednesday, the 4th night, in way to impose a mark of careers towed with six in the party that it defined to the World Series and led to the Yankees of New York to defeating 7-3 to the Filis of Philadelphia.
“ It is impressive”, showed Matsui by means of a translator. “Incredible. I was surprised myself”.
His performance allowed to gain the sixth party and with it, gained him the trophy to the most Valuable Player of the World Series.
Matsui turned into the first born pelotero in Japan that gains the award that begun to be delivered in 1955. It connected a home run, a double and a simple one and with it it crowned a World Series in which bateó for average of.615 with three home runs and eight impulsive careers.
Standing in the podium installed in the central garden, Matsui greeted with his cap with the emblem of the championship and pressed hard the hand of the commissioner Bud Selig. Matsui gained three qualifications in Japan and he was gasping to celebrate his first one in the Bronx.
“ I believe it is difficult to do a comparison. When it was in Japan, this was the maximum target. Already being here, to gain the World Series, to be champions of the world, that's why we strain here. It might be said that it seems to me that this is just the best moment of life”, pointed out Matsui.
