The long season is over and we finally have a winner. Coming full circle through spring season, summer nights baseball and finally to the fall classic. The average baseball fan has endured through the singles, doubles, triples and home runs. Yes, the loyal fan has watched strikeouts to pop outs, doubleheaders and double plays with the occasional triple play, and not to mention the great catches. Diving catches, one handed catches and the all ways graceful home run nabbing catch. We can all agree that the season has brought us the joy of America's great past time. We've watched the resilient Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim make it through adversity all the way to the American League Championship Series. And where would baseball be without the steroid controversy I mean the Mitchell report named big stars such as Big Poppy David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez Miguel Tejada and Alex Rodriguez. Fans survived through all the blown calls by umpires and a questionable home run by Alex Rodriguez, but we still were able to watch the best teams of each division. The returning World Champion Philadelphia Phillies with big batter Ryan Howard and former MVP Jimmy Rollins against a team with nothing but great tradition and future greats like Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Jorge Posada and Hall of Fame closer Mariano Rivera. Baseball fans bear witness to Chase Utley's run at post season history by tying Reggie Jackson's record of hitting five home runs in five games. The baseball season came to a glorious conclusion on a cool November night with the Yankees winning in six games 7 to 3. Look most fans are just happy the season is over. Most people say the season is way too long. The postseason took forever to finish with too many days off between post season games. Fans were glad to see how Alex Rodriguez got out of his so called post season slump by hitting home run after home run and game winning RBI after RBI. All I have to say is that George Steinbrenner checkbook finally payed for a World Series title. Bringing in Ace pitchers C.C. Sabathia and A.J. Burnett and super slugger Mark Texiera the Yankees have made it to the mountain top. The Bronx Bombers blasted home runs out of that cookie cutter stadium at almost a record breaking rate due to wind tunnels carrying fly balls out into the crowd. All in all we know who the champs are and happy to see that organization be triumphant one more time and guess what my great baseball fans we only have to wait three more months till this dog and pony show comes back around.
