The World Series always promises an exciting rivalry between two baseball teams, one from the American League and the other from the National League. This year the Yankees and the Phillies won the tough battle amongst their leagues. With the Phillies holding onto their two wins, the Yankees overpowered with their four out of six wins. The fan base for the two teams was equal.

2009 called for the 105^th edition of the World Series. Yankees took the win of the series on Wednesday Nov. 4.

“The Phillies should have won,” senior Celina Garcia said. “Yes, they won last year, but the Yankees have already won a lot. I don’t think another would make a difference.”

The Philadelphia Phillies won the World Series the previous year. This World Series promised an exciting race for the title. Even though the Phillies stole the win the year before many people hoped for their success.

“It’s great that Yankees made history by winning 27, but I’m sick of the Yankees always winning just because they can pay a lot of money for good players,” Garcia said.

Year after year the Yankees have won the World Series. Well, not literally, but it sure seems like things go their way. The wins this year gave the team their 27^th title claim. Their player Hideki Matsui won the award for the World Series Most Valuable Player.

Both teams fought a hard battle striving for the win. Mark Teixeira caught the final out of the game sending the Phillies home and the Yankees on the field cheering. The teams each finished the series with a phenomenal record, Yankees with 103–59 record and Phillies with a 93–69.

“The Rangers deserve to go because they’re building their team with more experienced players,” junior Ryan Grizzle said. “Their offense was not too bad and they have a great coach.”

Baseball fans will just have to wait to see how these teams and all the others turn out next season. Hopefully the race for the World Series will draw as much excitement as this one.
