Yankees Clinch 7th Straight Division Title!

[Figment22]

Congratulations to the New York Yankees on clinching their seventh straight American League Eastern Division Title (and 8 of the last nine!)

I was able to see the game on TV. What a great game! A walk-off two run home run for my favorite baseball player, Bernie Williams. It couldn't have had a better ending for me.

I'm very proud of this Yankees' team. They overcame all sorts of injuries this year and still went on to a 100 win season (with three games yet to go) for the third consecutive year. They are only the fourth team in MLB history to string together 3 consecutive 100 win seaons.

And Bernie's HR was the 241st Yankees home run of the season which is the most of any Yankees' team in history eclipsing the 240 HR hit by the legendary 1961 Yankees' team. (This is Mantle and Maris we're talking here )

Way to go, Yanks! Here's to you

My husband was telling me about this quote last night:

Pedro Martinez (9/24/04): "I just tip my hat and call the Yankees my daddies."




I like Bernie Williams too! I don't think he gets enough recognition!

Way to go Yankees!! I thought is was only befitting that Bernie hits the homer to win it! Congratulations to Bernie and to all the Yankees!!!! Plus to all the 3,775,000 fans that went to the games this year!


Where are the Red Sox fans who in the beginning of the week were hoping the Yankees were going to lose first place????

LETS GO YANKEES!!!

Another Bernie Williams fan here but my favorite player is Jorge Posada.

DH is not happy about the Yanks, he's a Mets fan....we have a mixed marriage LOL. I turned our kids into Yankee fans, even the 5 month old gets excited and smiles when we start doing the Let's Go Yankees chant.

Gosh, and they only needed the highest payroll for the umpteenth year in a row to do it!

How impressive!
