Yankee's Parade
I've lived in NYC for over 12 years now and have been here for 3 of the World Series Champions, but not once did I make it to the ticker tape parade. This year there was not going to be an excuse or way out of it, besides my job was only blocks away and half the folks at work went. These are a selective few photos from that day.
Landslide: Yankees beat out the Red Sox as team of decade
Let's end one debate before it really gets started. The Red Sox gave it a nice run for a while, but the Yankees are the team of the decade -- again.
I can just imagine what the scene in Red Sox Nation is about now. The fans are bitter. Very bitter. The Yankees are back on top, and that can't be sitting too well in New England.
Boston fans can cry all they want that the Yankees bought a championship, but so what? The Yankees are winners. They get the ring. Their city is happy and they are sticking out their tongues at the Red Sox and the rest of the world.
Well, autumn didn't go so well in New England, while it went smashingly in New York. The updated numbers:
Landslide. Sorry, Nation.
- Wins: Yankees 965, Red Sox 920
- Postseason Wins: Yankees 52, Red Sox 34
- American League pennants: Yankees 4, Red Sox 2
- World Championships: Red Sox 2, Yankees 2
Landslide. Sorry, Nation.

Tale of the Tweets: Yankees World Series Victory (and Birthday) Celebration Edition
Just because the World Series is over doesn't mean we can't bring back the Tale of the Tweets. I've pulled all the tweets from today's Yankees parade and Victory Celebration at City Hall and put them into one nice post. See how easy and fun this is? Enjoy.
One quick note: I didn't actually see the parade. I had to fight my way through the insanity that was the parade crowds in order to get my ticket to the City Hall celebration. I thought I was going to die from overcrowding. No joke. It was a total and complete nightmare. Once I got into City Hall, it was all good. I staked out a great spot in the center but towards the back when I befriended the crew guys working the camera hoist. No, not in that way. Come on. And with my 10x zoom camera, I was able to take some great pictures, which you can find here. All in all, an amazing way to celebrate the Yankees. And my birthday (did I mention it was my birthday?)Without further ado, here is the Tale of the Tweets: Yankees World Series Victory (and Birthday) Celebration Edition There are no words to describe the nightmare clusterf$*k that is downtown Manhattan right now. No. Words.A parade on my birthday? Oh, New York, you shouldn't have.
- At City Hall for Yankees Victory ceremony. Cotton Eye Joe on PA system at City Hall. Really? Hasn't he tortured us enough?The crowd is getting restless here at City Hall. I Got A Feeling playing on pa now. Really, New York, you didn't have to go to so much trouble for little old me today.Reggie, Yogi, Michael Kay, John and Suzyn all gathered on stage. Chuck Schumer in the house. Shocker.Rudy in the house. Even more shocking. Not yet! But could happen. :-) RT @runner_23 @amandarykoff Did the crowd break out into "happy birthday" yet? Kay congratulates Bloomberg on re-election. Crowd boos. 
- Yankees on City Hall stage Sergio Mitre gets a key to the city. And I am here to witness it. Jay-Z took a picture with the trophy. And that's a wrap from City Hall. If only Jay-Z had sung Happy Birthday instead of Empire State of Mind. Otherwise, not a bad way to celebrate.
