Yankees embrace Matsui in ring ceremony

[sunday26]

NEW YORK -- The Yankees have a way of linking their past to the present, and of celebrating championships. Having won 27 world championshipsyouth mlb jerseys, they've had more experience at it than any other team. But during Tuesday's ceremonies, held prior to the home opener to mark the occasion of the team's most recent World Series title -- the first since 2000 and the first at the new Yankee Stadium -- the Yankees delivered a new and emotional twist. The team chose Hideki Matsui, the World Series MVP who drove in six runs in the title-clinching game last Novembercheap nhl jersey, to be the final player to receive his championship ring. What was unique about that? Matsui, having signed with the Angels as a free agent during the offseason after seven years with the Bombers, emerged from the visitors' dugout. Welcomed by a loud and sustained roar from the crowdyouth mlb jerseys, Matsui was surrounded by the current Yankees in the infield after receiving his ring and a hug from manager Joe Girardi. The Yankees received their rings from Girardi and two men who have been to the top of the mountain many times themselvesmlb jerseys china: Hall of Famers and franchise icons Yogi Berra and Whitey Ford.
