The Yankees Won, and So Did Our Stadium Flags!

Take a look at that big blue sky. It was a lovely day last Tuesday, and Yankee Stadium looked beautiful decorated with printed banners and flags by www.AllStarGraphics.com. Shortly after this picture was taken, fans poured into the stadium to support the 2009 World Series champions as they faced the Los Angeles Angels for their season home opener.

The Yanks managed to pull off a 7-5 victory over the Angels, however Tuesday’s game was not without its surprises. By the end of the eighth inning, the Yankees had 7 runs to the Angels’ 1, but the L.A. team came close to turning it around in the top of the ninth, scoring an impressive 4 runs.

But before the game even started, former Yankee (and current Angel) Hideki Matsui received a warm welcome in Yankee Stadium, as he was given his championship ring for the 2009 World Series. As a prank, the Yankees at first presented Matsui with a replica ring, then Joe Girardi, the manager, gave him the real one during the pregame introductions.

All Star Graphics was happy to be a part of such a memorable game, as our stadium flags celebrated the Yanks’ 27 World Series championship wins, and our red, white, and blue bunting reminded us that baseball is, after all, America’s pastime.
