Yankees Win World Series 2009

Hideki Matsui put on one of the most impressive performances in World Series history, driving in six runs as the New York Yankees clinched their 27th championship with a 7-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies Wednesday night.

Matsui was awarded World Series MVP honors for his effort, which included a two-run homer off Pedro Martinez that set an early tone for the Bronx Bombers.

Andy Pettitte dealt 5 2-3 innings of three-run ball and Mariano Rivera got the final six outs to secure the win for New York.

The Yankees won the best-of-seven series 4-2.
