Of the win, Mayor Bloomberg said, "Congratulations to the Yankees for bringing the world championship back home to New York City, where it belongs. The Yankees have thrilled the city all year long with their come-from-behind victories and never-say-die attitude, and they did it again in the World Series. What's sweeter than a World Series won at home? The only thing that comes close is a ticker-tape parade up the Canyon of Heroes, and that's exactly what New Yorkers will get on Friday."
