November 4, 2009 - Yankees win over the Phillies 7-3 in Game 6 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium … and for driving 6 of the 7 RBI’s…
Hideki Matsui is the World Series MVP!
Asian ROCKS America indeed!!!!
[via] Matsui is the first Japanese-born player and official Designated Hitter in a World Series to ROCK this award! It’s an awesome culmination of the season for Matsui, considering his injuries and this year being the end of his $52MM, 4-year Yankee contract. [via]
Why is this an awesome win for the Yankees? Because…
-After 16 years in pro baseball, Alex Rodriguez has never won a World Series
-It’s only Joe Girardi’s 2nd year as Yankee Manager
-Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui’s contracts are up
-Andy Pettitte came “home” to the Yankees from the Texas Rangers
-The Yankees have not been to the Series since 2003
-They have not won since 2000
-The Yankees were the underdogs to last year’s champions
