NEW YORK (AP) — New York City will host a ticker-tape parade and ceremony in honor of the 2009 World Series Champion New York Yankees.
The parade, scheduled for Friday, Nov. 6, will begin on Broadway at Battery Place at 11 a.m. and continue northbound up the Canyon of Heroes to City Hall Plaza where Mayor Michael Bloomberg will present the Bronx Bombers with the Keys to the City.
Hideki Matsui's record-tying six RBIs helped the Yankees to the 7-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. New York won the series 4-2.
Fans had waited nine years since the team's last World Series win, a Subway Series against their cross-town rivals, the Mets, in 2000.
