Last night—and into this morning—the city celebrated the Yankees' 27th World Series win. Of course the win also meant that New York fans got to gloat over Phillies fans—check out the photographs above, taken by reader peterkreder, who witnessed various acts of fan superiority outside Yankee Stadium.
One told WCBS 2, "I'm so excited,. I live in Philly, I have to deal with their fans all my life. And I'm so happy they finally won. I have lifetime bragging rights." A "lifelong" Yankees fan told the Daily News, "I'm feeling like this is the most special moment in life - except giving birth." Another declared, "We found Pedro's daddy. He's from Japan, and his name is Matsui."
And it's unclear whether this was victory related, but there was even a stabbing outside the stadium.
