The Best Money Can Buy: New York Yankees’ 27th »

As the New York Yankees rushed the field after the final out in the top of the ninth inning of Game Six of the World Series, cementing their victory and crowning them champions of the world again for the 27th time, I felt a little sick to my stomach.   I’d hoped like hell throughout the playoffs that someone would be able to knock off the [...]

For Yankees, 27th Title Is Something Entirely »

2009 New York Yankees – A True Cinderella Story »

Who would have thought that THIS team could win the World Series.  A Cinderella story about a rag-tag bunch of players who scrapped their way to their first World Series title in nine years.  Nine years is a long time.  A child could have been born in November of 2000 and that child would now be nine years old.  This child has gone an entire [...]

Yanks on Top in 2009…What about 2010? »

They barely made it, with Melky Cabrera and Damon coming up lame and two parts of a five man rotation missing. Chien Ming Wang...long gone. Joba Chamberlain...ineffective as a [...]

Hate All You Want, but Yankees Are America’s »

After a gratifying night at the new and colossal Yankee Stadium, long-suffering derailment finally has dissolved putting behind disastrous misfortunes that ultimately stained prodigy and eminence, which classified a franchise and state. Instead, traditional pinstripes symbolized dysfunction and the laughingstock in baseball, failing to reach [...]

Yankees Win, Major League Baseball Loses »

In a decade in which greed and excess have been dominant themes in all walks of life, it may be only fitting that the final major sports championship would be claimed by the franchise that best personifies those qualities, the New York Yankees.
