Yankees Win World Series

You guessed it the best team in baseball that money can buy wins again. The Yankees, made up of all-stars from across both leagues completed their best of seven games beating their favorite whipping boy, Pedro Martinez and the Philadephia Phillies by a final score of 7-3.
It was a game that quickly got out of reach of the Phillies as Martinez gave up two runs quickly putting the Phillies in a game of catch up. The largest run spread in the game was 7-1 and the Phillies could only manage to cut the lead by four with a final score of 7-3.

The Phillies only two wins in the series came from pitcher Cliff Lee. While Chase Utley proved to be the only bright spot in Phillies attack by tying previous Yankee (also bought - from the A's) Reggie Jackson for the most home runs hit in a World Series (5).

While many will complain that the Yankees are a team of hired guns bought by the highest bidder, the Phillies fans have no excuses. They wanted to play the best team and beat them and ultimately the Yankees proved to be too much for the Phillies.

Meanwhile Andy Petitte added another win to his post season resume upping it to 18.

All in all, the Yankees 423.5 million spent to acquire the top three free agents in baseball paid off.
