The Yankees are headed to the World Series for the first time since 1981.
The Bronx Bombers defeated the Orioles tonight by a score of 6-4, clinching the AL pennant in five games. They were lead by Andy Pettitte, who tossed eight innings and allowed two runs on three hits. He handed the ball over to John Wetteland, who made the ninth interesting, but closed it out to send Joe Torre to his first World Series in his 32-year baseball career.
“No question about it, this is the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me in this sport,” Torre said.
