The NY Yankees raised the World Series flag at their new stadium and team members were given rings to commemorate the winning seasons for the NY Yankees.

Alex Rodriguez kissed the box that held his new ring given to him by the NY Yankees.

Andy Pettitte, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada and Derek Jeter were very happy to see the ring box handed to each of them for their participation over the years in one of the best baseball teams in the nation, the NY Yankees. Yogi Berra, helped pass out the prizes from a table in front of the mound along with Whitey Ford.

The World Series championship flag has been raised for the first time at new Yankee Stadium.

The blue-and-white banner was flapping in the breeze Tuesday even before a 15-minute ceremony during which Andy Pettitte, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada and captain Derek Jeter received their fifth World Series rings. Hall of Famers Yogi Berra and Whitey Ford helped pass them out.

Alex Rodriguez got his first ring, kissed the box it was in and raised it to the crowd. Hideki Matsui, on hand with the Angels, got the loudest ovation. Trainer Gene Monahan has been undergoing treatment for a serious illness and received a warm welcome.
