Bidding farewell:
Kevin Brown
Andy Pettitte and the Yankees put the finishing touch on their most dominant season by beating the Padres 3-0 Wednesday night for a record 24th World Series championship.
The Padres, the only team in the majors that did not get swept in a series this year, beat 100-game winners Houston and Atlanta in the NL playoffs. A record crowd of 65,247 saluted San Diego players who came back on the field after the game.
