2009 World Series

This is Yankees pod.

As always, we are joined by 2009 World Series champion, Joba Chamberlain.

And we have a very, very, very special guest today.

You know him if you live on the internet.

Uh, Anthony Rizzo in 15, Josh Hamilton in 10.

Utley in the 2009 World Series, and Rusty Staub in 1973.

Um, homers in consecutive NLCS games for the Brewers, uh, in franchise history, Garrett Mitchell, um, in three and four, Orlando Arcia in 2018, and Prince Fielder in 2011.

Um- Continuing on, um, the, uh, José Ramírez added a few more, uh, hits and a, a stolen base in the game today.

Wilson set a World Series record by striking out 12 times in the six-game set.

Ryan Howard, also of the Phillies, would break that record by striking out 13 times in the 2009 World Series.

Steve Carlton would get the win, Tug McGraw would get the save, and Mike Schmidt was named the World Series MVP.

The Phillies became the last of the original AL and NL franchises to win a World Series title.

Joe Torre, I think it was 12 years.

Uh, Girardi had a, uh, I think it was 28 and 24 in the postseason, and let's not forget, won the 2009 World Series.

Yep.

Uh, Joe Torre, of course, 76 and 47 in the postseason, won four World Series, won more division championships.

Jaba, we've seen baseball move more towards the three outcome style of, of baseball and nobody has leaned heavily, more heavily into that than the Yankees.

And if you look back to your 2009 World Series team, eight of the nine starters in that lineup batted over 270.

The Yankees don't have a, a player on their roster batting 270.

Is this baseball moving away or is this the Yankees kind of just digging their heels in? Like, could you find eight players in a lineup that could bat 2, 270 in baseball today?

Yeah.

Hideki Matsui walks in with the 2009 World Series MVP trophy.

Who gets the table, Gary?

Oh, Mats- Matsui's gonna take it.

To love the New York Yankees, this is like, you know, So- you know, Socrates maybe w- or Plato, w- w- what didn't make The Republic.

Like, maybe this was, like, the last p- part that didn't make the book, right? To love the New York Yankees is to despise the New York Yankees, because last night's game two was basically every single Yankee postseason game that's been played since they beat the Phillies in game six of the 2009 World Series.

Not Nine Inch Nails, Every Day Is Exactly The Same.

This is the New York Yankees with Aaron Boone playing the role of Trent Reznor.

actually do always remember whoever got the last out.

I believe it was Chase Utley in the 2009 World Series.

Isn't that right?

I believe so.

Surprised you're not a Yankee fan.

I have a picture of me at the 2009 World Series inaugural season at Yankee Stadium.

All right.

I think I've told this story before.
