In 2009 the New York Yankees opened the season in a brand new stadium. The beloved “House That Ruth Built” which opened its doors in 1923 was replaced by a $1.2 billion architectural marvel that mirrored the old stadium’s dimensions but upgraded and modernized other elements of the ballpark. The Yankees were no doubt revitalized by their new digs and promptly set out to capture their 27th World Series championship.Under the direction of second-year head coach Joe Girardi the Yankees posted a regular-season record of 103-59 before dispatching the Minnesota Twins and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the American League divisional and championship rounds respectively. In the World Series the Bronx Bombers outlasted the N.L. Champion Philadelphia Phillies in six games.
Presented to the team’s VP Richard Smith this 2009 New York Yankees 14K gold World Series championship ring is the ultimate symbol of the Bronx Bombers' return to glory. The Yankees organization spared no expense in the creation of this gem-encrusted treasure boasting 109 brilliant cut diamonds (one for each year of the Yankees existence) and four more square step cut diamonds to mark each base of the baseball diamond theme which contains the classic "NY" logo inset upon a blue stone. The 14K white gold body of the ring features the team logo and word "Tradition" on one shank as well as the recipient's surname “SMITH.” The other shank features a rendering of the new stadium with text reading: "World Champions 2009 Unity." Interior band is stamped "Balfour 14k" and "Yankee Stadium 2009 Inaugural Season." Size: 8.5. Weight: 45 grams. NM-MT condition.
