The 2009 World Series is the 105th edition of Major League Baseball's championship series. The best-of-seven playoff is contested between the Philadelphia Phillies, champions of the National League (NL), and the New York Yankees, champions of the American League (AL). The Phillies are seeking to become the first team to repeat as World Series champions since the Yankees did so from 1998–2000, while the Yankees are seeking to extend their major-league record with a 27th World Series championship. The two franchises previously met in the 1950 World Series in which the Yankees swept the Phillies four games to none.
This is the fifth Series played between teams from New York and Philadelphia. The Giants and Athletics faced each other in 1905, 1911 and 1913 in addition to the Yankees–Phillies matchup in 1950. The series is also the fourth consecutive time that the Phillies face a team from the AL East in the World Series. They faced the Baltimore Orioles in 1983, the Toronto Blue Jays in 1993, and the Tampa Bay Rays in 2008. The Yankees faced an NL East opponent in three of their last four World Series appearances: the Florida Marlins in 2003, the New York Mets in 2000, and the Atlanta Braves in 1999. This World Series has been nicknamed the "Turnpike Series", for the New Jersey Turnpike, which connects New York to Philadelphia through the state of New Jersey. This name is also used for the Mets–Phillies rivalry. There are many Yankees and Phillies fans in New Jersey, with North Jersey being Yankees territory, and South Jersey preferring the Phillies.[1] It has also been nicknamed the "Liberty Series" by Major League Baseball,[2] based on the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia and the Statue of Liberty in New York.
Due to 2009 World Baseball Classic, the Series was started on October 28, 2009, which was the latest start in World Series history. For the first time ever, the World Series is regularly scheduled to end in November. Assuming no weather delays, Game 4 is scheduled for Sunday, November 1 and, if necessary, Game 7 will take place on November 5. Home field advantage for the Series went to the American League for the eighth straight year as a result of their 4–3 win in the All-Star Game. The Series will be only the third one ever to end in a month other than October. The first was in 1918, which was played entirely in September after the regular season was cut short due to World War I. The other was in 2001, when the September 11 attacks on the United States caused a delay in the season that eventually forced the end of the Series into November.
Teams
Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies won the previous season's World Series against the Tampa Bay Rays. This was the team's second championship, their first since 1980.
During the off-season the Phillies named Rubén Amaro, Jr. general manager, replacing Pat Gillick who retired at the end of a three-year contract.[3] Notably, Raúl Ibáñez agreed to play left field for the Phillies in a three-year, $31.5 millon deal taking Pat Burrell's position, whom the Phillies did not re-sign.[4] Other off-season acquisitions included Mike Koplove[5] and Chan Ho Park.[6] Park was originally signed as an insurance policy for the bullpen, as reliever J. C. Romero was assigned a fifty-game suspension after violating the Major League Baseball drug policy, but won the fifth starter's job in Spring Training.[7]
How great would that be? A World Series here, us against the Yankees? We've proved we can put on a pretty good show.
Jimmy Rollins, "predicting" a Yankees–Phillies World Series on May 24, 2009.[8]
En route to the LCS, the Phillies beat the Colorado Rockies in the Division Series, 3–1.
By beating the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS, the Phillies became the first team to repeat as National League champions since the 1995–96 Atlanta Braves. They are also the first World Series champion trying to defend their title in the World Series since the 2000–01 New York Yankees. They are also trying to become the first NL team to defend their title in the World Series since the 1975–76 Cincinnati Reds, as well as trying to repeat as World Series champions for the first time in franchise history. Locally, they're trying to become the first Philadelphia team to defend a major professional sports championship since the Flyers won the 1975 Stanley Cup, defending their 1974 championship.[9]
New York Yankees
The New York Yankees won the American League East with an eight-game lead over their rivals, the Boston Red Sox, compiling 103 total wins. Starting pitchers CC Sabathia and Andy Pettitte had strong seasons, while position players Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira had great offensive numbers. Closing pitcher Mariano Rivera earned his first career RBI and his 500th save—a plateau that previously had only been reached by Trevor Hoffman. Newcomers Nick Swisher and Eric Hinske contributed in the 2009 campaign, while veterans Jorge Posada, Derek Jeter, and Hideki Matsui had surprisingly good years.
The New York Yankees defeated the Minnesota Twins in three games in the ALDS and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in six games in the ALCS to win their first American League Pennant since 2003. CC Sabathia was named MVP of the 2009 ALCS with two wins in the series. This is their 40th World Series appearance in franchise history. The New Yankee Stadium will be hosting its first World Series, as the New York Yankees look to earn their 27th World Series Championship, but first since 2000.
World Series schedule
Commissioner Bud Selig explored options to include a game during daylight instead of the evening, which had been rumored to be October 31 due to the Halloween holiday, but eventually opted to move the start times of the games before 8 p.m. ET for the first time in 30 years, and also rejected suggestions to play the games at neutral sites.[10][11] The sole exception to the earlier starts will be on November 1, when the scheduled first pitch is approximately 8:20 p.m., due to an NFL doubleheader that day.
Game 4 is scheduled to be played at Citizens Bank Park on the same day as another Philadelphia–New York matchup at the South Philadelphia Sports Complex. The game between the Eagles and Giants across the street at Lincoln Financial Field was scheduled for a 4:15 p.m. kickoff. However, to prevent the football game from finishing too close to the first pitch, the National Football League moved it to 1 p.m.[12]
Game 5, is scheduled to be played at Citizens Bank Park the same day as the Flyers host the Tampa Bay Lightning at the Wachovia Center. The opening faceoff was scheduled for 7:00 p.m., but to avoid any conflicts, the opening faceoff will take place at 5:00 p.m.[13] Both Citizens Bank Park and the Wachovia Center are in the same South Philadelphia Sports Complex.

Game 1
Wednesday, October 28, 2009 — 7:57 PM (ET) at Yankee Stadium in The Bronx, New York

The Phillies' Ryan Howard got the first hit of the 2009 World Series by doubling in the first inning. Howard was stranded in the first and the game was scoreless after two innings. The Phillies scored first with a two-out solo home-run by Chase Utley in the top of the third inning. Through the first five innings, Philadelphia starting pitcher Cliff Lee allowed no runs and only three hits, striking out seven Yankees' batters. In the top of the sixth, Chase Utley, who played college baseball at UCLA, homered again with one out and nobody on to give the Phillies a 2–0 lead and in doing so became the first left-handed hitter to hit two homeruns off a left-handed pitcher in the World Series since Babe Ruth. The stellar pitching by Lee and Yankees starter CC Sabathia continued until the top of the eighth when Sabathia was replaced by Phil Hughes. Hughes walked the first two batters and was quickly replaced by Dámaso Marté. Marté got two quick outs and was relieved by David Robertson who walked Jayson Werth and gave up a two-run single to Raúl Ibáñez. The Phillies added two more runs in the ninth with an RBI single by Shane Victorino and an RBI double by Ryan Howard. The star of the game was Phillies starter Cliff Lee who, after giving up an unearned run in the ninth, finished with a complete game only allowing just the one run on six hits and striking out ten batters, not walking any of the hitters he faced, and making some notable fielding plays.
Lee's pitching performance made history in several ways:[18]
- This was the fourth postseason start of Lee's career. In all four starts, he went at least seven innings and gave up no more than one earned run. The only other starting pitcher ever to begin his postseason career with four such starts was Christy Mathewson from 1905 to 1911.
- Lee lowered his career postseason ERA to 0.54 in 33+1⁄3 innings, the lowest in history for any pitcher with at least that many innings.
- He was also the first left-handed starter to beat the Yankees in The Bronx to open a World Series since Sandy Koufax in 1963.
- He was the first starting pitcher to throw a complete game without giving up an earned run against the Yankees in Game 1 of any postseason series.
- Finally, Lee was the first pitcher ever to strike out at least ten, walk no one, and give up no earned runs in a World Series start.
Game 2
Thursday, October 29, 2009 — 7:57 PM (ET) at Yankee Stadium in The Bronx, New York
| Team | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | R | H | E | |||||||||||||||||||||

| WP: A. J. Burnett (1–0) LP: Pedro Martínez (0–1) Sv: Mariano Rivera (1) Home runs: PHI: None NYY: Mark Teixeira (1), Hideki Matsui (1) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Prior to the game Jay-Z and Alicia Keys performed the song Empire State of Mind for the Yankee Stadium crowd.[19] This game marked the first post-season appearance of Pedro Martínez against the Yankees since the 2004 ALCS when he was with the Boston Red Sox and a part of the two teams' long standing rivalry.[20] The Phillies scored first for the second game in a row, with Raúl Ibáñez hitting a ground rule double followed by a Matt Stairs RBI single off A. J. Burnett in the second inning, but that would be the only run the Yankees allowed.[21]
Mark Teixeira tied the game with a solo home run in the fourth inning, and Hideki Matsui broke the tie in the sixth with another solo homer, giving the Yankees their first lead of the World Series. Martínez departed the game after giving up consecutive hits to Jerry Hairston Jr. and Melky Cabrera to start the seventh inning, and reliever Chan Ho Park gave up an RBI single to Jorge Posada.[22] With Melky Cabrera at second base and Posada at first Johnny Damon hit a low line drive at Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard. Howard grabbed the ball and threw to second where Posada was tagged and called out while standing on the base. First base umpire Brian Gorman ruled that Howard had caught the ball in the air and thus the result was an inning-ending double play. This was the first of two controversial calls by Gorman in this game which were later disputed by video replays.[23]
Burnett left after seven innings, replaced by Mariano Rivera in the eighth. The Phillies put two runners on with a walk to Jimmy Rollins and a single by Shane Victorino with one out in the eighth. However, Chase Utley grounded into an inning-ending double play ending on a close play at first base, the second close call made by the first base umpire. Gorman himself later admitted he missed this call, saying "on a freeze frame, it looks like there’s a little bit of a ball outside his glove when he hits the bag."[23] Ultimately Rivera threw 39 pitches and got six outs for his 38th postseason save, his tenth in World Series play.[24]
Game 3
Saturday, October 31, 2009 — 7:57 PM (1:20 rain delay) (ET) at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

| WP: Andy Pettitte (1–0) LP: Cole Hamels (0–1) Home runs: NYY: Alex Rodriguez (1), Nick Swisher (1), Hideki Matsui (2) PHI: Jayson Werth 2 (2), Carlos Ruiz (1) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Following a rain delay of almost 80 minutes, the Phillies struck first in the bottom of the second inning, with Jayson Werth's lead-off solo homer followed by a bases-loaded walk and a sac fly to make it 3–0. Following Mark Teixeira's walk in the top of the fourth inning, Alex Rodriguez hit a deep ball down the right field line. It was originally ruled a double and Mark Teixeira held at third base. The play was reviewed using MLB instant replay and the ball was ruled a two-run home run,[25] giving Rodriguez his first World Series hit.[26] This was the first home run reviewed by instant replay in postseason play.[25] Specifically, the ball hit a camera owned by FOX and MLB which extended slightly over the right field wall.[25] The camera was moved back for Game 4 such that its lens was in line with the wall.[25] Coincidentally, Alex Rodriguez also had the first regular season home run reviewed by replay.[27]
Nick Swisher opened the top of the fifth inning with a double and scored on a single to center field by Andy Pettitte. This was Pettitte's first career postseason RBI and the first RBI by a Yankees pitcher in a World Series since Jim Bouton in 1964. Derek Jeter followed Pettitte with another single, and both runners scored on a two-run double by Johnny Damon. Cole Hamels then walked Mark Teixeira and was relieved by J. A. Happ. Happ escaped the fifth without allowing further scoring, but Nick Swisher added to the Yankees lead with a solo home run off of Happ in the sixth. Werth hit his second solo home run of the game leading off the bottom of the sixth to close the Yankees lead to 6–4, the second Phillies player to hit multiple home runs in this World Series.
Chad Durbin relieved Happ in the top of the seventh. He walked Johnny Damon who then stole second base. Alex Rodriguez was hit by a pitch and Damon scored on a single by Jorge Posada. Joba Chamberlain relieved Pettitte in the bottom of the seventh and retired the side in order. Brett Myers retired the first two batters in the top of the eighth, but Hideki Matsui then hit a solo home run pinch hitting for Chamberlain. This was the 28th pinch-hit home run in World Series history.[28] Phil Hughes pitched a third of an inning in the bottom of the ninth and allowed a solo home run to Carlos Ruiz before being relieved by Mariano Rivera. Rivera closed out the game, throwing just five pitches to record the final two outs. This game was Pettitte's 17th career postseason win, extending his MLB record.
Game 4
Sunday, November 1, 2009 — 8:20 PM (ET) at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Derek Jeter led the game off with a single and advanced to third base on a double by Johnny Damon. Jeter scored via a Mark Teixeira ground out and Alex Rodriguez was hit by a pitch. Rodriguez was hit twice the night before and the umpires issued warnings to both benches.[29] Jorge Posada then added to the Yankees lead that inning with a sacrifice fly. The Phillies answered quickly, scoring a run on successive doubles by Shane Victorino and Chase Utley in the bottom of the first. Sabathia would intentionally walk Jayson Werth, but escaped the inning without further scoring. The Phillies tied the game in the bottom of the fourth as Ryan Howard singled, stole second, and scored on a single by Pedro Feliz. However, instant replay of the Howard's slide showed that he did not touch home plate.[30][31]
Nick Swisher walked to lead off the fifth inning and advanced to second on a Melky Cabrera single. Swisher regained the Yankee lead, scoring on a single by Derek Jeter, and Cabrera added to it scoring a run off of a Johnny Damon single. Brett Gardner replaced Melky Cabrera in center field as a defensive substitution in the bottom of the sixth inning when Cabrera left with a strained left hamstring. Chan Ho Park relieved Blanton in the seventh and held the Yankees scoreless in that inning. Chase Utley hit his third solo home run of the series in the bottom of the seventh with two outs, bringing the game to 4-3 and chasing Sabathia from the game. Damaso Marte relieved Sabathia and got the final out of the seventh without further scoring.
Ryan Madson relieved Park in the eighth and allowed a walk and a single but held the Yankees scoreless. Joba Chamberlain replaced Marte in the bottom of the inning. He struck out the first two batters he faced but allowed a game-tying home run to Pedro Feliz before closing the inning. Brad Lidge came into the game in the ninth and gave up a two-out single to Damon. Then, with Mark Teixeira batting, Damon stole second and advanced to third as the base was uncovered due to a defensive shift against Teixeira,[32] who later was hit by the pitch advancing to first. Rodriguez then put the Yankees ahead with a double to left field, scoring Damon. Posada added to that lead with a single which scored Teixeira and Rodriguez. Mariano Rivera entered in the bottom of the ninth and saved the game for the Yankees on eight pitches for his second save of the series.

Series quotes
Of course we're gonna win. If we're nice, we'll let it go six. But I'm thinking five, close it out at home.
Back inside... [Stairs swung and missed] Game over! Series tied at a game apiece! A 39-pitch performance... and a six-out save for Mariano Rivera... Four saves this postseason for Mariano Rivera, and a win for A. J. Burnett, his first career postseason victory, and he deserved it.
Well, [smiling] Phillies in six.
— Jimmy Rollins "updated" his prediction after Game 3 loss.[39]
