When you trounce the Phillies and ace the World Series, it doesn’t matter if it’s your first win or your 27th; it’s still awesome. This past Wednesday, the Yankees proved that a) they rule MLB, and b) they’re still essentially little boys playing a game they love. (Did you see them storm the mound and hug each other and smile like it was their job? Because… Adorable.) And talk about esprit de corps; these teammates have become so synced with each other that they’re practically telepathic. Just look at Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez. Although the two superstars have some long-standing friction and completely polar personalities, their connection is undeniable.
