New Yorkers Flock to Cheer Yankees

'Canyon of Heroes' echoes with cheers for champs

Loading... Please wait

(Newser) – New Yorkers turned out in droves today to cheer the World Series champion Yankees as a ticker-tape parade made its way through the canyons of Lower Manhattan. Manager Joe Girardi received a key to the city at a City Hall ceremony, Series MVP Hideki Matsui thanked the fans over and over—in English—and Jay-Z joined Alex Rodriguez on a float. "I've never seen so many people collected in one place," said A-Rod, who won his first title in his 15th big-league season. "I've waited a long time for this."

Baseball is such a dull sport to watch. It would be much better if the league implemented a salary cap, in my opinion. I'd rather watch little league, than the pros. Reply

Not too terribly difficult to be 'the best' when you can buy 'the best'.
