NEW YORK (AP) - The New York Yankees have won the World Series,
beating the defending champion Philadelphia Phillies 7-3 in Game 6
behind Hideki Matsui's record-tying six RBIs.
Matsui was named the Series MVP>
Andy Pettitte won the clincher Wednesday night, pitching the
Yankees to their elusive 27th championship and first since 2000.
Matsui homered, doubled and singled, and tied Bobby Richardson's
49-year-old record for RBIs in a Series game. His two-run homer off
Pedro Martinez in the second inning started the Yankees on their
way.
Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez helped the
Yankees wrap up a most successful season in their first year at the
new $1.5 billion Yankee Stadium.
