Last night was a good night. My Yankees won the World Series, finally. They were clearly the best team throughout the season and with all the players they bought, it would've been a shame had they not won it.
I think Mark Texiera proved himself to be one of the best 1st basemen in league defensively. He may not have had the best of times offensively this postseason, but he still proved himself to be indispensable.
Kudos to Nick Swisher who was seen as just an extra player in the beginning of the season but turned himself into maybe one of the most important players on that team not only for his skills but also for his intangibles. He really brought that team together I feel.
A-Rod finally came through. He disappeared for a few games but he still came through for the Yanks when he was needed, driving in some key runs. I hope that who "he doesn't come through in the clutch" stigma goes away now because he proved that he can indeed come through when he is needed.
Does anything still need to be said about Derek Jeter? Mr. November. Mr. Clutch. He is the ultimate captain. I don't think he ever sat down, always cheering on his teammates on the top step. Yes, he may make the occasional mistake every now and again, but he also makes the spectacular play. He is one hell of a player. I can't wait to see him inducted into the Hall of Fame. He is the one player that i guess i have followed through his career and I'll feel old once he is retired because I pretty much grew up watching him play.
Congrats Yankees. Do it again next year.
