#27

November 5, 2009 | Posted by Evan

I feel it is only right for me to write a little something about the Yankees, the greatest franchise in the history of sports. Today they clinched their 27th world series win, putting them 17 over the team with the next most wins — the Cardinals. What made this series special was the fact that they won it in their first year in the new Yankee Stadium, just as they did back in 1923 in the old Yankee Stadium. I’ve now seen 5 world series titles won by the Bronx Bombers, and honestly every time it gets more special. I love this team, and I couldn’t have been happier when Robinson Cano threw the ball to Mark Teixeira to clinch this one!
I have to say though, it made me miss home. Seeing and hearing all the fans at the game, combined with talking to my siblings in New Jersey and my cousins who were at the game, I really felt left out of the action. I guess, as Frank Sinatra said, “I want to be a part of it.” New York City is amazing, and I’m excited to get back there after this semester, and experience a winter the way it was meant to be. It’ll make it even better going home to the champions.

Here’s the song that’s played after Yankees games, just after the announcer (on the radio) says “Ball game over. World Series over. YANKEES WIN!! THEEEEEEEE YANKEES WIN!!!!”:
