The World Series by nature is a baseball-history-making event. On a cold November night in 2009, the Yankees made history by winning their 27th world championship, and Godzilla made some history of his own. Hideki Matsui drove in a World Series-record six runs, almost single-handedly beating the Phillies in the deciding contest.
Final Score: Yankees 7, Phillies 3
Game MVP: Hideki Matsui
The 2-3-2 format of the World Series meant the Yanks had to sit someone for the trio of games in Philadelphia, and Matsui’s swollen knees made him the odd man out.
