Andy West Allow me to be one of the very first to congratulate the New York Yankees on their World Series win.
I live in New York, and while I’m a fan of the Mets, I do happen to root for my city any time my team isn’t in the postseason (and that seems to be quite often).
The Yankees came into the season with big expectations. With some big name signings in CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett, and Mark Teixeira, the stakes were really high in New York.
A new stadium symbolized the beginning of a new era in Yankee baseball, one that would seek to recapture the glory days of a decade ago that saw the team dominate the second half of the’90s.
With some of the team’s original pieces still in place and near the ends of their careers, this blend of old and new was a beautiful thing to witness. The Yankees played like a team and fought to the very end.
The contributions from the team’s newer players should definitely be noted. Johnny Damon was excellent through and through. CC Sabathia and AJ Burnett were stellar in the playoffs, and Mark Teixeira was arguably the best hitter on the team, as he hit more home runs than anyone else on the Yankees, or in the AL for that matter.
Many were shocked to see that Alex Rodriguez finally came through with some clutch hitting. Rodriguez contributed with some game changing hits, and Yankees fans will quickly forget his blunders from the past.
The Yankees remained focus through the entire season and never really seemed to let up. This is the mark of a true championship team, and the Yankees epitomized this in 2009.
The Yankees and their fans will now celebrate a well earned victory.
