This day in Yankee history: WS Champions

This news should brighten your day. One year ago today, Hideki Matsui’s six RBIs helped the Yankees beat the Phillies 7-3 to clinch their 27th World Series title.

It was a wonderful night. What was your reaction? I was speechless. I didn’t get up from my couch for 10 minutes after Robinson Cano threw out Shane Victorino at first base.

If you are having trouble reliving the moment, check out some of my favorite celebratory posts from last year:

• The image.
• The clinching game recap.
• The best photos.
• My World Series parade homeless adventure. (Photos, I; Photos, II)
• The Star-Ledger’s World Series video clip.
• NY Times 12,000 pictures time-lapse video.
• Photo of my bedroom wall.
• Photos of the World Series rings.
