Broadcasting For the tenth consecutive year in the United States,

Fox Sports televised the Series. Joe Buck called play-by-play and
Tim McCarver provided analysis . The Series was also broadcast on ESPN Radio , with Jon Miller and Joe Morgan calling the action. Fox Sports en Español also broadcast the Series for the US
Spanish -speaking audience. [128] The
flagship radio stations of the respective teams broadcast all Series games with their local announcers. In Philadelphia,
WPHT carried the Phillies' English-language broadcasts, with Scott Franzke ,
Larry Andersen, Tom McCarthy , Gary Matthews , and Chris Wheeler announcing, while WUBA aired the team's Spanish broadcasts. [129] In New York, WCBS-AM carried the Yankees' English broadcasts with John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman announcing. [130] This broadcast made Waldman the first woman to announce a World Series game on radio. [131] XM Satellite Radio offered multiple feeds of each game to its subscribers. [132]
Ratings
Television ratings for the 2009 World Series were excellent. Game 1 attracted 19.5 million viewers, second only to the opening of the 2004 World Series for a series opener since 2000 and 29% higher than 2008's opening game. [133][134] Game 4 produced the highest total viewership of the series with 22.8 million viewers, the highest for any World Series game since 2004 and the highest for a "non-decisive Game 4" since 2001. [135] At 11.7 overall, the 2009 World Series was at the time the highest rated World Series since 2004 and the one of the only World Series to average double digits since 2007, the other being the 2016 World Series .[136]

Impact and aftermath
Many players with both teams won awards for their performances during the 2009 season. Teixeira and Jeter each won a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger Award ; Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino won Gold Gloves, as well; and Chase Utley won a Silver Slugger Award. [141] Rivera was named the 2009
DHL Delivery Man of the Year, [142] as well as Sporting News ' Pro Athlete of the Year. [143] Along with the Hank Aaron Award announced before Game 4, Jeter won the Roberto Clemente Award and was named Sports Illustrated 's Sportsman of the Year for 2009. [144][145] Matsui won the World Series MVP for his play, becoming the first Japanese player and first full-time designated hitter to win the award. [116][146] Several items related to the series were sent to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum including bats from Jeter and Matsui; caps from Rivera, Lee, and Pettitte; and Johnny Damon's cleats .[147]
Matsui also joined Minnesota Twins radio analyst Dan Gladden as members from the 1994 world championship Yomiuri Giants team as players who have won championships in North America and Japan.

The series win brought the Yankees' franchise championship total to 27, [118]
[148] more than any other North American professional sports franchise. This championship came in the Yankees' first year in their new stadium. They had also won the 1923 World Series , the opening year of the previous Yankee Stadium. [149] The victory was noted by some sportswriters as a personal success for Alex Rodriguez, winning his first championship and succeeding in the playoffs where some had previously claimed he was a "choker and a loser". [150][151][152] Prior to this series, Rodriguez had appeared in 2,166 regular season games without a World Series appearance, then the second-most among active players to Ken Griffey, Jr. [150][152]
The Yankees' victory was credited to a number of different sources. [153] Many players drew praise for their performances, including Series MVP Hideki Matsui; [116] free agents signed the previous offseason including Mark Teixeira, CC Sabathia, and A. J. Burnett; [154] and the so-called "Core Four" of Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte, and Jorge Posada, who had all played a large role in the Yankees' past success in the 1990s. [155][156][157] Manager Joe Girardi was also credited for his management of the team, [158] particularly in his decision to use only three starting pitchers in the Yankees postseason starting rotation . [159] The Yankees were the first team to use only three starters in a World Series since the
San Diego Padres in the 1998 Series .[50]
Several members of the Yankees franchise dedicated the World Series in part to team owner George Steinbrenner, who had recently stepped back from his once prominent position with the team. [160] Steinbrenner died on the day of the All-Star Game the following season at the age of 80. [161] On November 6, a victory parade took place for the Yankees in the "Canyon of Heroes " in Manhattan, New York City. [162] The Yankees sent a group of players, coach Tony Peña , and team Senior Vice President Felix Lopez with the Commissioner's Trophy to the
Dominican Republic in early January 2010 to meet with President Leonel Fernández. [163][164] Most of the 2009 Yankees received their championship rings on Opening Day the next season. [165] Matsui was on the Angels in 2010 and when the Angels played their first series of the season in the Bronx, the Yankees home opener, they presented him with his ring.[166] They also visited U.S. President Barack Obama in the White House in April 2010, presenting him with a signed jersey. [167]
The Yankees returned to the playoffs the following season, as the wild card. They lost to the Texas Rangers in the 2010 ALCS; which included an 8-0 shutout in Yankee Stadium by former Phillie ace Cliff Lee; it was Lee's seventh straight postseason win which included three victories against the Yankees (two as a Phillie in the 2009 World Series, and in 2010 during the ALCS).[168]
Phillies
Following Game 4, after the Yankees took a 3–1 series lead, The Philadelphia Inquirer accidentally printed a three-quarters-page Macy's advertisement congratulating the Phillies for winning the World Series, along with a picture of a Phillies championship T-shirt. The newspaper subsequently apologized for the mistake. [169]
Lee Jenkins of Sports Illustrated attributed Philadelphia's loss to a lack of pitching depth, noting that three different Yankees starters managed to win games in the series, while only Cliff Lee won games for the Phillies. The Phillies' 2008 postseason star pitchers, starter Cole Hamels and closer Brad Lidge, struggled in their only appearances of the 2009 World Series. The Phillies bullpen which did well in the NLCS performed poorly in the World Series, allowing seven runs in just 11 2/3 innings with a 5.40 ERA. [170] Jorge Arangure Jr. of ESPN partially attributed the Phillies' loss to their lack of offensive production, citing the team's .227 batting average in the World Series. Only Chase Utley performed well with 5 home runs and 22 of the Phillies' 90 bases, while Shane Victorino and Jimmy Rollins struggled at the plate, and Ryan Howard struck out a record 13 times in the World Series after his NLCS MVP performance. [171]
Before the start of the 2010 season, the Phillies traded away their 2009 postseason ace pitcher Cliff Lee. The Phillies posted the league's best record in 2010, and returned to the playoffs where they lost to the eventual champions the
San Francisco Giants in the NLCS .[172]
David Paterson ticket scandal
Among those in attendance during Game 1 was New York Governor David Paterson, whose party had five tickets behind home plate. On March 3, 2010, the New York Commission on Public Integrity found that Paterson had violated state laws concerning gifts to public officials, and that he lied under oath to the commission about his intent to pay for the tickets.[173] The commission further found that Paterson used his position to solicit and receive the five tickets—valued at US$425 each—free of charge from the Yankees, [174] that he had never intended to pay for the tickets despite testimony to the contrary, and that he or a person acting on his behalf wrote a backdated check to pay for them only after scrutiny in the case arose. [173][174] The Commission ultimately fined Paterson $62,125 for his actions. [175]
