Yes, it’s official now. The Yankees have won the 2009 World Series. After an exciting six game series with the Phillies, the series is over and the Yanks are champions.

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.

When you have the biggest payroll in baseball, one could say that a World Series win should be expected. The Yankees went on a spending spree during the off season, adding some huge names to the mix.

Hank Steinbrenner made some bold moves for a team that had just spent hundreds of millions on dollars on the development of a brand new stadium. Everyone in New York was ready for another victory.

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.

And in a surprising twist Alex Rodriguez was one of the Yankees’ most clutch players in the postseason. A player constantly criticized for failing to contribute when it mattered finally came through for his team.

Many doubted them through the course of the season and thought they would flop in the playoffs. Others thought the Phillies were simply too strong. In the end, they did what they had set out to do.

The 2009 baseball season was marked by the incredible success of the New York Yankees. That makes it 27 World Series wins now.
