n The Yankees beat the Phillies and win the World Series in six games.
The New York Yankees have won the World Series, beating the defending champion
Philadelphia Phillies 7-3 in Game 6
behind Hideki Matsui's record-tying six RBIs.
Andy Pettitte won the clincher Wednesday night, pitching the Yankees to their elusive
27th championship and first since 2000.
Matsui homered, doubled and singled, and tied Bobby Richardson's 49-year-old record
for RBIs in a Series game. His two-run homer off Pedro Martinez in the second inning
started the Yankees on their way.
Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez helped the Yankees wrap up a most
successful season in their first year at the new $1.5 billion Yankee Stadium.
