Can NY win World Series in Game 6?
Two of the best all-around baseball teams collide as the New York Yankees slug it out against the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 6.
That’s right, the 2009 MLB World Series is on as the Yankees and the Phillies play in what is shaping up to be an interesting championship face-off, to say the least. With fans from New York on one side and Philly fans on the other, you can almost smell a brawl brewing.
But who has the advantage? Sure, the New York Yankees are having a terrific season considering that just a few months ago, Alex Rodriguez was in the middle of controversies involving performance enhancing drugs. But do they have enough to dethrone the defending champs?
The Philadelphia Phillies are looking to win it all again after winning the title last year. They have assembled enough talent to bring themselves back in the big dance. This time they have the Bronx Bombers from New York challenging them for the title. Can they make quick work of the Yankees like they did the Tampa Bay Rays last year?
These two teams boast two of the best hitting lineups in the game.
For the Phillies, they have some great hitters including Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley, and Shane Victorino. However, the most powerful and feared bat in their lineup is the incomparable Ryan Howard. Howard has been voted the most powerful hitter in the game and his skills should be on full display in this one.
For the Yankees, they bring in the usual big guns including Johnny Damon, Derek Jeter, A-Rod, and Mark Teixeira.
New York had little trouble getting past Minnesota and the Angels for the first two rounds of the playoffs. Alex Rodriguez has been superb in the postseason and Sabathia has been almost unhittable.
The teams met earlier this season for a series at Yankee Stadium and the Phillies took two of three. The Phillies are trying to become the first team to repeat as World Series champs since the 1998-2000 Yankees, and the first team to do it in the National League since the 1975-76 Cincinnati Reds.
The Yankees are well aware that it won’t be easy against the defending champs.
