27th Crown Jewel For Yanks

The New York Yankees opened the old Yankee Stadium in 1923. Babe Ruth and Herb Pennock made sure the Yanks christened the old stadium properly, winning in their first season there. 86 years later, history repeats itself, with the Yankees capturing their 27th overall World Series championship, and first in their new stadium, with a 7-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. This night belonged to Hideki Matsui, providing 6 RBI's on what could have been his last game in a Yankee uniform. Pedro Martinez, who once proclaimed the Yankees "his daddy", fell victim to his paternal heritage once again, gone after 4 innings.
