The 2009 New York Yankees season was the 107th season for the New York Yankees franchise. The Yankees opened their new Yankee Stadium on April 3, 2009, when they hosted an exhibition game against the Chicago Cubs. The new stadium hosted its first regular-season game on April 16, when the Yankees played the Cleveland Indians and their first playoff game against the Minnesota Twins in the ALDS on October 7, 2009. The Yankees swept the Twins in three games to win the divisional series. They won their 40th American League pennant on October 25, 2009, defeating the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in six games to advance to the World Series, where they defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in six games to win their 27th World Series on November 4, 2009.

3 points - 2 for being widely covered. And 1 point for having the date relevant to the topic, (Baseball season right now). However, the article is reliable, full of sources, neat, appealing, and has quality and potential for greatness. I think its one of the best Baseball season articles on Wikipedia. Eric - Contact me please. I prefer conversations started on my talk page if the subject is changed 20:17, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
