MUST SEE

George Steinbrenner certainly wasn't forgotten when the Yankees held aloft the seventh championship trophy under his reign.

Gene Wojciechowski
Alex Rodriguez had an interesting season, but it's one that ended with him lifting a career-long burden as a first-time champion.

Jim Caple
The Phillies didn't get enough from their offense, particularly Ryan Howard, or their bullpen to repeat as champions.

Jorge Arangure Jr.
Pedro Martinez left Game 6 after only four innings of work, and unfortunately tried to slip out the backdoor after the game.
