Yankees Celebrate Series Threepeat
ever.”
H ow close? For only the second
tim e ever and first since 1915— when
Babe Ruth was a rookie as the Boston
Red Sox beat the Philadelphia Phillies
— no W orld Series gam e w as de
cided by m ore than tw o runs.
“T here w ere so m any balls that
co u ld ’ve gone the other w ay,” Torre
said.
So w hile Luis S o jo ’s grounder
sneaked through the m iddle for the
go-ahead single in the top o f the
ninth inning, P iazza’s long drive was
hauled in to finish it, ending a Sub
w ay Series that city fans had w aited
44 years to see.
“Going in, I knew this W orld Series
w ould be m ore than five nine-inning
gam es,” T orre said. “ It w ould be 24-
hour days.”

N EW Y O RK (AP) — Even in the
final inning, Joe Torre found him self
wondering.
“ You ’re sitting there in the dugout
thinking, ‘H ow long is this run going
to go?’” the Y ankees m anager said
Friday.
M oments later, when center fielder
Bernie Williams caught M ike Piazza’s
bid for a tying hom e run on the edge
o f the w arning track for the final out
at exactly the stroke o f midnight, Torre
had his answer.

Fans Cheer Champs in Ticker Tape Parade
NEW YORK (A P) — Y ankees fans aren’t
getting tiled o f these ticker-tape parades.
Fans o f the W orld Series cham pions braved
raw w inds M onday to cheer their heroes during
the Bronx B om bers’ fourth parade in five years.
“ I got here at 6 a m., and I’m not crazy,” said
Robert Schaeffer. 54, o f the Bronx. “ It's a little
cold but it’s worth it.”
Reams o f shredded p aper hurled from office
w indow s created a virtual blizzard as the parade
kicked oft shortly after noon. G rand M arshal
Y ogi Ben .« vvaved from a 1952 Chrysler convert
ible w hile a grinning M ayor R udolph Giuliani
joined Yankees m anager Joe T orreon the trophy
float.
Thousands crowded the parade route along lower
Broadway. Many were skipping school or work.
“W e called the school from here and they
know who the hooky m others are,” said Donna
Toscano o f W yckoff. N .J.. w ith her friend Lori
Cooke and their four young children.
