2009 World Series Preview
The 105th MLB World Series gets underway October 28th in Yankees Stadium. The Yankees arrived to the Fall Classic after a six game ALCS against the LA Angels, where they will face returning champions the Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies won the NCLS against LA's other team, the Dodgers, in five games, setting up the first World Series title defense in 8 years. The series has been dubbed the "Turnpike Series", as New York and Philadelphia are connected via the Jersey Turnpike. Fans in either city don't have far to travel to see action in either Yankee Stadium or Citizens Bank Park.

This best of 7 series is going to be about the numbers. The Phillies will be going for their second consecutive World Series trophy; they are the first team to return to World Series since the Yanks did it in 2001. For the Yankees the magic number in the 2009 World Series is 27, because if New York wins it will be the Bronx Bombers 27th World Series championship.

There are a number of big name stars in the 2009 World Series. Philadelphia is led on the field by 1st baseman, Ryan Howard, and their vocal shortstop, Jimmy Rollins. The Yankees have enough star power in their infield to light up the New York skyline. Shortstop Derek Jeter is going after a 5th World Series ring, while sluggers Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira are playing for their first. The pitchers that you will hear the most talk about are Cliff Lee, Brad Lidge and Pedro Martinez from the Phillies and CC Sabathia, Mariano Rivera, and AJ Burnett from the Yankees. This World Series certainly will not lack big names because both rosters are chock full of some of the best talent in Major League Baseball. Good luck to the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Yankees – hopefully they make 2009 a memorable World Series.

This is the latest start in World Series history, and will slide into November because of it. If the series goes the distance, the "October Classic" won't be decided until November 5th. Be there to see the defending champion Phillies take on the Yankees in their 40th appearance in the World Series.

The World Series is a tradition in American sports that extends back over 100 years. The games are played in October, so there is often a crisp chill in the air at a World Series baseball game. But the cooler temperatures are offset by the electricity of the crowd during each game. Each game is critical to the outcome, so every inning and every at bat are huge. 162 regular season baseball games, and two weeks of playoff games, come down to a few World Series games. The crowds buzz, the teams are intense and each player is trying to make that one key play that will be talked about forever.

Those great moments at the World Series are some of the most recognized in sports history. Kirk Gibson pumping his fist in the air after he hit the game winning home run off Dennis Eckersley in the 1988 World Series. Joe Carter's exuberance as he rounded the bases after hitting a "walk off" three-run home run, in the bottom of the 9th inning, to win the 1993 World Series. The pure joy of the Boston Red Sox players after clinching the final out of the 2004 World Series, and ending a title drought that had lasted since 1918.

The World Series, also commonly known as the "Fall Classic" is the culmination of the Major League Baseball playoffs. The winners from the American League Championship Series (ALCS) and National League Championship Series (NLCS) square off in a best of 7 series. The home field advantage for the World Series is determined by the league that wins the MLB All-Star Game. So buy some World Series Tickets and experience this magical event.
