News and Notes

Rodriguez grabbed the World Series trophy and wouldn't let go Wednesday after the Yankees won the title in six games with a 7-3 win over the Phillies. It was A-Rod's first title. He led the Yankees in the postseason with a .365 average, six homers, 18 RBIs, 15 runs and 12 walks. Advice: After six seasons of hits and home runs, heartaches and headaches, he finally earned his pinstripes in the eyes of the fans the only way Yankees can - with a title. "He's exorcised a lot of demons," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. "There's no reason to take any 'He can't do this, he can't do that.' He's done it all now." |

3B Alex Rodriguez savored his first World Series title, which came after a year that began with him admitting past performance-enhancing drug use and enduring hip surgery. "I know a lot of people were running the other way," he said of the controversial start to his season. "My teammates, coaches, the organization, they stood right next to me." After struggling through his first four postseasons as a Yankee, Rodriguez helped carry the team in many big spots this October and November, including a key home run and double in the World Series. |

Rodriguez went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in a Game 2 win over the Phillies on Thursday. Recommendation: In eight World Series at-bats, Rodriguez has no hits and six strikeouts. It's still a small sample size, but we expected more after watching Rodriguez tear through the first two rounds of the playoffs with a .438 average, five homers and 12 RBI. In four career at-bats against Game 3 starter Cole Hamels, Rodriguez is 0-for-4 with four strikeouts. |
