Obama Welcomes 2009 World Champion New York Yankees to the White House
Obama praised the players for their off-field work, from a scholarship that first baseman Mark Teixeira established at his high school with a $75,000 check, to catcher Posada's work on a support network for families with ailing children to shortstop Jeter's sportsmanship.

Earlier in the day, members of the team visited war wounded at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, which several players described as a sobering experience. Third baseman Alex Rodriguez, who wore his championship ring, called the servicemembers the "real heroes" and pitcher Andy Pettitte hailed their sacrifice.

A great team meets a great President. Life is good.

6. Funny how after they were stolen from New York, they have never won
a World Series Championship. Even funnier is that the Pittsburgh Pirates have won three!!
