Let’s hear it for our New York Yankees, who have just won their 40th (…that’s FORTIETH, folks!) American League Championship.
From the ‘90s “Core Four” of Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada, and Andy Pettitte…
To the additions of recent years: A-Rod, Damon, Cano, Cabrera, Matsui, Molina, and “Gardy” Gardner…
To the best Bull Pen to ever set up a “Hall of Fame Closer” (…that’s Mariano Rivera, folks!): Hughes, Chamberlain (Please, stay in the Bull Pen where you belong, Joba!), Coke, Aceves, Robertson, and Marte…
To the New Big Guns: CC Sabathia, Mark Tiexiera, and A.J. (Walk-Off Pie) Burnett…
The unofficial Heart-and-Soul of the team – Nick Swisher…
And Manager Joe Girardi (…who would NEVER have allowed Joba Chamberlain to be eaten alive by swarming insects in Cleveland [2007] costing his team a playoff series!)
Let’s root the Yankees on to their 27th World Series Championship in a “Turnpike Series” with the formidable Philadelphia Phillies!

"And Manager Joe Girardi (…who would NEVER have allowed Joba Chamberlain to be eaten alive by swarming insects in Cleveland [2007] costing his team a playoff series!)"
(Flashback to Joba battling the insects as Joe Torre visits the mound)
JOBA: What would you call a whole bunch of gnats, Joe?
JOE: A pretty bad baseball team?
"DuckTales": the gift that keeps on giving!

I'm expecting the Yankees to win but hoping for the best, myself.
