Who was that next to Alex Rodriguez in the New York Yankees World Series parade? It was not Kate Hudson – more like Jay-Z. The Predicto TV crew stood among about 1.5 million screaming fans celebrating the 27th championship at a raucous New York-style tribute. As the shredded paper rained down on us (bank financial statements, it seemed like), we watched as Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Johnny Damon, Jorge Posada and the rest of the team wave to the throngs. While Jeter got the loudest applause, so did series MVP Hideki Matsui (In a new Predicto survey, the fans spoke up: Will the Yankees sign Matsui to a new contract by December 10? Yes – 79% and No – 21%).
We spoke to many fans at the parade, and all were bursting with joy that their favorite team ended a nine-year championship drought. The parade moved up Broadway and to City Hall, where Mayor Mike Bloomberg presented keys to the city to the entire team and coaching staff. With the ceremony over, it was only 96 days until pitchers and catchers report to spring training!
