The final out nestled softly in Mark Teixeira's glove, and as his teammates rushed the field in ecstasy, the first baseman had to look down -- first to make sure the ball was still there, then to believe this: the Yankees have won the World Series. It was the dream that the franchise had waited nine years to fulfill, and as the players clustered to celebrate the perfect ending to the inaugural season at Yankee Stadium, they can finally -- and forever -- claim that the 27th championship is theirs. "You realize how difficult it is to get here," Yankees captain Derek Jeter said. "I never lost sight of the fact that it's very difficult to get to the World Series, let alone to win one. You realize and remember how hard it is." With Mariano Rivera inducing Shane Victorino to hit an easy ground ball to second base for the 27th and final out, the Yankees' mission statement was complete on Wednesday, frozen in the history books with a 7-3 victory over the Phillies in Game 6 of the World Series. "This is what the Steinbrenner family has strived for, year after year -- to deliver to the city of New York," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "To be able to deliver this to the Boss, the stadium that he created and the atmosphere around here, it's very gratifying to all of us." In what may have been their final games in pinstripes, Hideki Matsui tied a World Series record with six RBIs and Andy Pettitte stepped up on three days' rest to green-light what promises to be a raucous celebration parade down the Canyon of Heroes on Friday starting at 11 a.m. ET. "This is what you set out to do when you go to Spring Training," Pettitte said. "It's a great feeling to be able to accomplish with the rest of the team. This is what you play for." SUPERB IN GAME 6 With Wednesday's 7-3 victory, the Yankees improved to 8-6 in Game 6 when leading 3-2 in the World Series. Year Opp. Gm 6 res.

"My first and foremost goal when I joined the Yankees was to win the world championship," Matsui said. "Certainly, it's been a long road and a very difficult journey. I'm just happy that after all these years, we were able to win and reach the goal that I had come here for." Once a fresh face of the dynasty, Pettitte tugged the bill of his cap low over flecks of gray hair and prayed that his left arm could deliver the World Series rings with one more night to remember -- this start on short rest, an equation that has given him mixed results over the years. Pettitte needn't have worried, attacking the Phillies' lineup and holding the National League champions to three runs over 5 2/3 innings, earning every decibel of a standing ovation from the crowd of 50,035 as he jogged off the field. "My command wasn't real good, but I was able to get through it and make some pitches when I had to," Pettitte said. "I'm just very thankful for that." Descending the dugout steps while acknowledging the roar, Pettitte and those behind him in relief allowed Girardi to make the easiest decision he has had all postseason -- put the ball in the right hand of Rivera, the best closer history has ever known, and wait to celebrate.
