In 2009, the Yankees had a magical season, with stories that could only be compared to Hollywood in order to describe them.
15 walk-off wins. Over 50 come-from-behind wins. Over 250 home runs hit in the regular season. A new Stadium. A shift from being 0-8 against the Boston Red Sox to being 9-9. 41-18 in the final two months of the season. Derek Jeter passing Lou Gehrig. Alex Rodriguez’s 30 home runs and 100 RBIs after hip surgery. CC Sabathia’s 19 wins as a first-year Yankee. Mark Teixeira’s monstrous second half. Nick Swisher’s great attitude. Phil Hughes in the bullpen. Mariano reaching 500 saves. Three genuine classics in the 2009 postseason. A-Rod’s 6 home runs and 18 RBIs in the postseason. Damon’s double-steal. And a World Championship to boot.
