World Series 2009
The New York Yankees win their 27th World Series Championship, the most championships in baseball history, as they defeat the Philadelphia Phillies with an 7-3 victory in Game 6.
But the man they call Godzilla, Hideki Matsui, is the man likely to be remembered most in this World Series. After putting up amazing offensive numbers, including 6 RBIs in Game 6, Matsui earns the MVP. He went on to say through a translator: "I guess you could say this is the best moment of my life right now."
Meanwhile, the Yankees' Andy Pettitte, working on only 3 days' rest, pitched well enough to win going into the 6th inning, giving up only 3 runs to earn the victory - and his 5th World Series Championship ring. Get the full Game 6 stats
The Phillies' Pedro Martinez gets the loss as the Yankees were able to score early and the Phils batters were not able to break through against Pettitte.
