The End
Inquirer staff writer Kristen A. Graham reports from Yankee Stadium:

All around Brett Mucklow, ecstatic Yankees fans were celebrating their team, world champions. They clapped, wept, high-fived, sang, chanted.

"Twenty-seven," the New York crowd chanted, crowing about the number of Series crowns in franchise history.

Mucklow, a Phillies fan who traveled to Yankee Stadium to witness Game 6, shook his head.

"I'm disappointed, because the Phillies were the better team but the Yankees played better," said Mucklow, who lives in Aston.

But tonight's 7-3 drubbing wasn't a total loss, he said.

Philadelphians are used to being underdogs. But they came into New York as defending champions and put up a strong fight.

"The Series was a hell of a ride," said Mucklow, 34. "There's no shame in losing to a team as good as the Yankees."
