The New York Yankees beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-3 at Yankee Stadium to win the World Series, the Bronx Bombers ending a nine-year wait for a 27th title with a 4-2 series victory over the defending champions. Hideki Matsui was named Most Valuable Player after batting .615 with three home runs and eight RBIs over the series, the Japanese slugger driving in six runs in Wednesday’s clincher to tie the World Series record for most RBIs in one game.

Lo Yankee Stadium esplode in un urlo liberatorio: gli Yankees tornano sul tetto del baseball a stelle e strisce vincendo 4-2 le World Series 2009 dopo il 7-3 con cui hanno regolato i Philadelphia Phillies campioni in carica in gara-6. E’ il 27° titolo per i Bronx Bombers, la squadra più titolata dell’Mlb e dello sport pro Usa, che però non vinceva dal 2000.
