George M. Steinbrenner III had a few words for the Yankees and their fans today:
“The Steinbrenner Family and the Yankees organization are extremely proud of the members of the 2009 New York Yankees for bringing a 27th World Championship to New York City and our fans, the greatest fans in the world,” Steinbrenner said on Thursday in a statement. “Every World Series victory is special, but this one is especially sweet coming in the first year in our new home.”
“The 2009 New York Yankees proved that we are the best in baseball,” Steinbrenner said. “We beat truly worthy opponents in the American League Division Series, the American League Championship Series and the World Series.
And as Steinbrenner savored the sweetest victory one day after watching the clincher from his Tampa, Fla., home, he offered a reminder that the next charge to the top is only a few short months away.
“We’ll enjoy this win,” Steinbrenner said. “And the quest for number 28 begins.”
