Pettitte needn't have worried, attacking the Phillies' lineup and holding the National League champions to three runs over 5 2/3 innings, extending his all-time postseason record with an 18th victory and his third in a clinching game this year

Just as they did in 1923, when they won their first-ever title, the Yankees inaugurated Yankee Stadium with a world championship, ending the third-longest drought with a championship since winning their first
