A-Rod Gets His

Just over a year ago, the Yankees and their fans bidded a fairwell to the old Yankee stadium and all the treasures that went with it. But something the organization brought along to the new stadium across the street, was the recent memories and the ones soon to be created. And similar to when renevations were made at the old Yankee stadium back in 19, the team brought home the gold in the stadium's first year. & For a tittle that means everything in the world to the players, means that much more to the Steinbrenner's. The homegrown Yankees -- Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera all said this one was for the boss. But A-rod knows this one means just enough to him as it does the fans.

A season that started on a sour note for Alex Rodriguez ends in the best way possible. Before the season started, Rodriguez was caught lying about using steroids back in his early years with the Texas Rangers and then publicly admitted using performance enhancers in an interview with Katie Couric, the same woman he lied to in an interview years back. Things then got worse from there as he injured his hip during spring training and later underwent surgery. In his first game upon his return against Baltimore, A-rod proved he was healthy by hitting a home run on the first pitch of his first at-bat.

Finally 16 years in the making, Rodriguez won his first world series championship and helped New York bring home their 27th world tittle and first in a 9-year drought. All of this came with the help of a productive A-rod, who prior to this year's postseason, wasn't a huge contributor when it came to postseason play. Instead, he played a huge role and contributed a ton in the team's championship run. A-rod capped off an 18 rbi postseason by batting .365 to go along with 6 home runs. Many are thanking actress and girlfriend of Rodriguez' Kate Hudson for his odd postseason success. & Over the weekend, A-rod and a few others from the 2009 championship team were introduced at a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden.
