New York City will celebrate the Yankees’ 27th World Series title with a parade Friday up Broadway.

New Yorkers will celebrate the Yankees’ 27th World Series title with a parade Friday, following the traditional route up Broadway that long-time Yankees Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera know well.

The parade will kick off at 11:00 a.m. from Battery Park, go up the ‘Canyon of Heroes’ north to Chambers Street, and finish with a rally at City Hall Plaza.

Mayor Bloomberg will then present the team with the key to the city.

The Yankees beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-3 Wednesday night to win the World Series in six games in front of 50,315 at the Stadium, which showcased a championship in its first season.

Hideki Matsui’s record night powered the offense, Andy Pettitte held Philadelphia’s offense in check and Derek Jeter started a pair of key rallies with base hits, as the Yankees beat the Phillies 7-3 to win their 27th title and first since 2000, a relatively long drought by this storied franchise’s standards (BOX SCORE).

Matsui was named the World Series MVP after batting .615 with three home runs, the second designated hitter to be so honored.

“Winning the championship is such a great feeling,” Matsui said through an interpreter. “I guess you can say that this is the best moment of my life right now.”
