Some Pictures from the Parade
Here were some pictures I took at the parade. I posted all the good pictures on Facebook, so you can click on this link and enjoy!
The best sign of the parade:
The MVP, Hideki Matsui and Eric Hinske
Saluting the Yankees and Thoughts from the Parade
Today was my first time watching in person as my team was draped with ticker-tape floating down in the Canyon of Heroes. I missed the Giants in 1990 and 2008, the Rangers in 1994, and the Yankees previous four. In 2001, I had made plans to head down to the parade if the Yankees had closed it out. Unfortunately, they did not and I've been waiting to go back. I was there today to witness the madness and I can report it was an amazing experience.
These Are A Few of My Favorite Things (Yankees)
As I get ready to head down to the Canyon of Heroes to watch the 2009 Yankees be adored by over a million fans in a ticker-tape parade, there are a lot of things over the past day since the Yankees won to make me smile.I've listed a few of them here (and some pictures including the one on the right which was Deadspin making fun of all the unoriginal coverage). Enjoy!
Jon Sterling is an Amazing Announcer
Some love him, some hate him. He may be losing it a little bit (I heard he started his "it is high, it is far..." line for Matsui's double off the wall). He may be a bit of a homer. His nicknames and home run calls are awesomely ridiculous. His commercial tie-ins annoy many. He has an amazing fake twitter account and a website dedicated to him. He's been the butt of many jokes and everyone has done an impression of him once in a while.
But this call, the call he is most famous for, is awesome as is "The Sterling Shake" (H/T Ian):
A Toast to the Best in Baseball
Congratulations to the New York Yankees on winning the 2009 Major League Baseball World Series! It's been a fun run from the last offseason through the playoffs, but we've had it all here at No, You're a Towel. No more will I have to hear from opposing fans that we couldn't win with A-Rod, that we were cursed by 9/11, that we hadn't won a championship this decade (even though we had won one in 2000). The pain of 2001 and 2003 and 2004 are erased for a little while. Now that's it's over, let's do a champagne toast to the best of the best from the World Series and beyond. I'll go into each one a little bit later, but here's a quick hit on everyone for now:
