Watch the Yankees celebrate their 2009 World Championship today (April 13, 2010) on the YES Network starting at 12:15 pm. It starts with the World Series ring ceremony and other pregame festivities to be followed by the first game in the stadium this season. This will be the 108th home opener in franchise history vs. the Los Angeles Angels at 1:05 p.m.

Festivities will start with a ceremony to award Yankees players and coaching staff with their championship rings from the 2009 season. Hall of Famers and former Yankees greats Whitey Ford and Yogi Berra-who won a combined 16 World Series titles-will be on hand to help pass out the commemorative rings to the defending World Champions in a ceremony on the infield.

In addition to the ring ceremony, the Yankees’ 2009 championship flag-as well as flags commemorating each of the Yankees’ other 26 World Championships-will be on display for the Opening Day ceremony and game, encompassing the roof of the entire Stadium. As mentioned yesterday, Hideki Matsui, now with the Angels, will also receive his World Series ring.
