A Statement From The Steinbrenners To The Fans

Here's an official release from Hank and Hal Steinbrenner via the Yankees:

"After the overwhelming public response to the historic achievement of our 27th World Championship, I would like to thank our fans for their highly spirited and remarkably steadfast support this season."

"The New York Yankees have long enjoyed the positive effects of the world's greatest fans. It is a real and tangible benefit to our success every day and every game. Each and every fan contributed this season, from the 3.7 million who attended our home games to the millions more who lined the 'Canyon of Heroes' for our victory parade."

"Throughout the season, the team found inspiration in the very essence of New York City and its people. By persevering and never wavering from our goal, the Yankees reflected the true spirit and determination that defines the city of New York."

Another thank you should go out to the Steinbrenners for putting such a great team on the field, and the team, managers, coaches and staff for performing like they did.
