Yankees clinch World Series win for championship #27!
Written by The Go-To-Man Mattie T. on November 5, 2009
The defending champion Philadelphia Phillies gave a valiant effort, but it wasn’t enough to deny the New York Yankees from winning another World Series.
Hideki Matsui also made history by becoming the first Japanese-born player to ever win a World Series MVP after a thrilling six-RBI performance in the Game 6 clincher.
Matsui is also the first full-time DH to win World Series MVP honors since Toronto’s Paul Molitor did it back in 1993.
For the series, Matsui hit 8-for-13 (.615) with 3 home runs and 8 RBI’s.
This is the Yankees’ first World Series title since 2000, when they swept the Mets in 4 games under Joe Torre in the self-proclaimed “Subway Series”.
