The Yankees are on their floats up the Canyon of Heroes for the ticker tape parade. Not only are there members of the Yankees organization—MVP Hideki Matsui is modestly waving to the crowd—but former mayor Rudy Giuliani, Michael Kay and super fan Freddy Sez are in various cars! Oh, and Mayor Bloomberg and manager Joe Girardi are on the first float, with the trophy—and Jay-Z is on the street, waiting to get on his float.
You can see streaming coverage of the parade at MyFoxNY, WABC 7, WNBC 4, WCBS 2, and NY1.
Good luck trying to take a subway downtown—NYC Transit said earlier, "Due to crowd conditions, some downtown R & W trains bypassing City Hall; some 4 & 5 bypassing Wall St." We're also hearing that there are tons of fans all over the place, like climbing onto sanitation trucks and that people are getting crushed against street barriers—and the police can really remove them because it's so crowded! And if you didn't realize that there are tons of street closings downtown, here's the NYPD's list of closures.
If you're at the parade—or are watching from a window—you can share your photographs with us by emailing them to us at [email protected] or tagging hem "gothamist" on Flickr.
Update: More reports of "unruly crowds" along the parade route, even one about revelers on some scaffolding.
