SS Derek Jeter may have taken a subtle shot at his Phillies counterpart and former World Baseball Classic teammate Jimmy Rollins after he clinched his fifth World Series title as a Yankee. Rollins had predicted before the Series the Phillies would win in five games. "We heard a lot of predictions going into this series," he said. "Our team went on the field, we played the game the right way, and we deserve to be standing here right now." Jeter also acknowledged how much he appreciated being back on top, saying, "I haven't forgotten how it felt. This is unbelievable."

Jeter earned his fifth World Series title as the Yankees won their record 27th with a 7-3 win over the Phillies on Wednesday. He had three hits and batted .407 (11 for 27) in the World Series.
Advice: The 35-year-old Jeter had three hits Wednesday and reached base in all 15 games this postseason. The captain also passed Lou Gehrig for the most hits with New York, but he will be remembered as a Yankees legend for his clutch play.
