Congratulations to the New York Yankees who won their 27th World Series Championship after beating the Philadelphia Phillies 7-3.  The last time I saw them win a World Series was in 2000 when they beat their cross-town rivals, the New York Mets.  At the time, Annalise was just 6 months old and we were living in Hartford.  Since then, we've moved down to Norwalk and added a couple more kids.

I must admit after watching the Yankees win 4 championships in 5 years from 1996 to 2000, we Yankee fans got a little spoiled.  Before 1996, the Yankees hadn't won since I was a little kid in 1978.  So this one will be cherished a  little bit more not just because it's been 9 years since the last championship, but it's also the first one in the new stadium.  I know it sounds a little greedy, but I still hope they win a few more!
