Wow...an amazing run...Another Great Championship...Oh Where Oh Where to begin...It would be very easy to start with the subject every media person likes to start with...so what the heck....Let's start with the story that never ends....Alex Rodriguez...There are so many levels and many stories to the Alex Rodriguez story...If you're not up to speed...and missed the details, you must have pulled a Rip Van Winkle on yourself....So sorry I can't catch you up now....But suffice to say Alex Rodriguez is truly on a new journey for himself....Destiny has finally touched him, and his performance for the past month has truly been legendary...Game tying and game winning homeruns and basehits...and excuse me CLUTCH...CLUTCH...and more CLUTCH....Oh and in case anyone's forgotten, it was all done in the POSTESEASON....For you stat freaks, let it be known Alex Rodriguez...Tied the all-time record for post season RBI's with 18...his 2 run homer in Game 3 seemed like it won the game because of the momentum it shifted toward the Yankees....and his Damon double off the wall did win the game....For all the shit he's taken I should go on forever....But that would be silly....Ive gone on long enough....and as I like to say....no team is ever about one guy anyway...Every Championship team is always about the team...Girardi had this Yankee edition focused on that from day one. And that's always the mantra of successful teams; This one was no different...But no matter how much you want it, you have to have horses...This Yankee team met every challenge..climbed every hurdle..showed a will to win that wouldn't go away...This Championship was special in many ways as all Championship are... The individual stories and Heroics were many...Sabathia, Petitte, Jeter....well actually you could name the whole team....because as always that's what winning Championships takes...and along the way the Yankees beat their arch rivals by 8 games in the Division....Exorcised their (Devils)...the LA Angels...and beat a Very Very good Defending WS Champion...not bad for one year...I guess life does go on after Joe Torre... Mr. Girardi's Leadership meant everything to these players....and that says it all....and one final note...Has there ever been an athelete that was So lock down...So dominant...So consistent...So big time...So clutch...that everyone would pray for his participation, I don't think so. Because even if there was...they never did it for 15 YEARS...THANKS MARIANO.
