Yankees Win 2009 World Series- Ashton Gronholz

The Yankees won the world series last night over the Phillies 7-3 for the national championship. They took the series in a total of 6 games, ending with last nights thriller. They started off the new ball park good winning the pennet in it's first year of existance; the same goes for the old ballpark which was built in 1923. Hideki Matsui had a record breaking night with a hr, double, single, and 6 RBI's, this is probaly why he was awarded MVP of the world series. While Hideki was crushing phillies pitchers, the opposite could be said for Andy Pettite the Yankees pitchers who was keeping the phillies offense in check. This was the Yankees 27th title and first since 2000.
In my mind the baseball world should expect nothing less then a national championship out of the Yankees every single year. With a roster like that it leaves competetion in the dust. Now im not trying to take away from the players who worked so hard to achieve this goal, but it's a disgrace that the MLB officials and commisioner allow such a stacked roster. The Phillies, a team within the salary cap might i add, played their hearts out and recieved, well in my mind a treasurable experience, but should have had more. We need to set limits on teams, that's why we have the salary cap. It would make baseball so much enjoyable to watch. On the other hand if the Phillies would have won, it makes the thrill that much better being able to say they defeated a team like that so i guess the arguement could go both ways. But put it up to the fans, we should decide the Yankees fate, because after all without the fans the MLB would be just another lost hobby.
