New York Yankees£ºWinner of North American Major League Baseball
According to the latest sports news from VOA, in the 2009 World Series, championship round of North America Major League Baseball, the host New York Yankees, took a great victory and defeated Philadelphia, a visiting team, with the scores seven to three.
Baseball has been in vogue in the USA for many years; what is more, this sports item enjoys great popularity in some Asian countries, especially in Japan. Many big companies have their sponsored team, with the brand name of their products and popular design on the players¡¯ fashion accessory and sports outfits, which come into the elements of fashion. The situation is the same as that in the U.S.A.
And there are some good Japanese players in the American clubs and teams. If you¡¯re a fan of baseball, you should be familiar with and deeply impressed by Hideki Matsui, who was a Japanese-born player. In this match, he was staged as the designated hitter, and really contributed greatly to his own team¡¯s huge success. As known to the audience of this final game, the sixth game of the series is the most exciting and wonderful. What is unbelievable is that Matsui himself drove in almost all the seven runs of this round (he lost one only). Fans shouted crazily in the second inning when he made a handsome home run off the pitcher in the counterpart team, Pedro Martinez. This is virtually a surprised happiness, endowing the Yankees with first two scores.
Throughout the whole match, Matsui contributed continuously until the Yankees seized the final victory. And Matsui, this Japanese-born baseball player, was also chosen to be the Most Valuable Player and was bestowed the award for the 2009 Series. In listening to his speech of thanks for the award, we get to know he knows little about English. So how fantastic, what good teamwork they have shown us. More important, it is personal skill and ability that can help a team to stand out in the league.
Top managers and officials, including the New York City¡¯s mayor expressed their congratulations to the team and all the players, those in and out of the team. As early as in the 1920s, the Yankees had topped the league. It resurgence can be regarded as somewhat a popular vintage of traditional sports. And in the following years till now, it has expanded its victory to more than 20 World Series titles. A parade is worthwhile indeed. The fashion elements can be far-reaching, as will be revealed in the following time. |
