The New York Yankees are the 2009 World Series Champions after beating the Philadelphia Phillies 7-3 in New York on Wednesday night to clinch the best-of-seven series 4-2.

Hideki Matsui, who was later named Most Valuable Player of the World Series, was the hero of the night, tying a World Series record with six runs batted in (RBIs), including a monster two-run home run off Pedro Martinez to open the scoring.

Despite the Yankees having the biggest payroll in baseball, the Bronx half of New York hadn’t seen a World Series title since 2000. But now, they have.

“My teammates, coaches and the organization stood by me and now we stand here as world champions,” said Alex Rodriguez. “We’re going to enjoy it, and we’re going to party!”

About a million New Yorkers have the same feeling.
