Although I’m not American I’ve been well aware of the New York Yankees winning the World Series thanks to the multitude of updates on facebook from American friends. It is, apparently, a reason to celebrate.

The core players of the World Series winning New York Yankees team, Derek Jeter, Andy Pettitte, and Jorge Posada, appeared on The Late Show With Dave Letterman last night. They were later joined on stage by MVP Hideki Matsui.

This isn’t the full video because that would undoubtedly be taken down off YouTube for copyright reasons. So this is the CBS-ratified highlights clip showing some of the best bits of the interview.

The full interview is a mix of serious chat and jokey banter. What’s good to see is the Yankees giving as good as they get, turning many of Letterman’s quips back on to the chat show host.
