Yankees Ticker Tape parade & the Keys to the City!

Today’s ticker tape parade to honor the New York Yankees’ 2009 World Series win on Wednesday November 4th will start at 11am along the Canyon of Heroes up Broadway. The Mayor will give the New York Yankees the keys to the city in a ceremony at City Hall Plaza after the parade. 

The last parade held in NYC was for the Giants’ Superbowl win in 2005; the last held for the Yankees was almost 10 years ago in 2000.  The cost to hold the parade will be comparable at approximately $331,000. 

My fave pics of the Yankees after their win on Wednesday here.

2009 World Series: YANKEES WIN!!!!!!!

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
