NEW YORK — Revenge complete. The American League pennant is back in the Bronx.
Yankees sweep up AL pennant
The Associated Press
Yankee Stadium rocked long and hard last night as New York reached the World Series for a record 35th time by beating the Cleveland Indians 9-5 to win the AL championship series in six games.

Atlanta Braves halfway to playoffs
The Associated Press
SAN DIEGO - The Atlanta Braves beat Kevin Brown in an unexpected situation, and now they are halfway to playoff history.
No team has ever trailed 3-0 in a seven-game series and come back to win. In fact, no team has forced even a sixth game after falling behind 3-0.
Then again, there has never been another team quite like these Braves.
San Diego was five outsees away from its first World Series in 14 years when Atlanta wrecked the Padres' strategy of bringing on Brown, who built a reputation as a Braves killer. Michael Tucker hit a go-ahead, three-run homer that sent Atlanta to a 7-6 win
Monday night in Game 5 of the National League championship series
The Braves are heading back home trailing 3-2 and ready to roll out Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux in an attempt to get to their fifth World Series this decade.
The move by Padres' manager Bruce Bocy looked good in the seventh inning when Brown came on with a 4-2 lead and retired the side.
"This is big for us," Tucker said.
"We got two games, and we're taking it back to Atlanta."
But in the eighth, Brown didn't look nearly as sharp as he did when he won Game 2 3-0 with a three-hitter Thursday night in Atlanta. He walked Ryan Klesko leading off the
eight, and Javy Lopez reached on an infield single. With one out, Tucker lined a 3-2 pitch over the right-field fence to give Atlanta a 5-4 lead.
"The feeling in the dugout was that we were going to get him," Tucker said. "He really didn't have that extra giddy-up you really want to have."
run rally in the eighth that made it 7-4. After Tucker's homer, Donne Wall relieved and walked winning pitcher John Rocker, who slid in ahead of the throw on a two-out double. Graffanino took third on the throw home and scored on a throwing error.
Brown, 6-0 with a 1.85 ERA in his previous eight starts against Atlanta, was the loser in just his third career relief appearance.
Padres' Ken Caminiti and John Vander Wal hit two-in, two-run homers off John Smoltz. Caminiti's homer came in the first inning for a 2-0 lead and Vander Wal's in the sixth for a 4-2 edge. Tucker singled in the Braves 'first two runs in the fourth and six innings.
The Braves might have to beat Brown one more time in the series. He had been scheduled to pitch Game 6 tonight against Glavine, and Bochy planned to decide today whether Brown or Sterling Hitchcock will pitch.
Tucker's homer highlighted a five
Smoltz allowed four runs and nine hits in 6/23 innings, struck out eight and walked one. Ashby gave up two runs and nine hits in six innings.
Infamous ball makes big hit in St. Louis
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — Two weeks after Mark McGwire hit his 70 home run, the record-breaking ball landed in the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame for public display.
The hall opened its doors Monday with home run ball on display behind a glass case.
day's end, 228 people had visited the exhibit in the International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame near Busch Stadium. The museum usually draws about 45 people a day during a weekday in the off-season.
"When people walk in, they go straight to the ball," said James Baer, marketing director for the bowl!

museum. "It's kind of neat to see people get family pictures taken around it."
The ball is on temporary loan to the museum from Phil Ozersky, 26, a laboratory researcher who caught it at Busch Stadium
on Sept. 27. It could be on display for two weeks or for more than a month — it's all up to Ozersky.
Paula Homan, the curator of the museum, said fan reaction to the exhibit was just the most recent example of how St. Louisans have embraced all things McGwire this year.
"I think that there's really a sense of fan ownership, that the fans are sharing this moment," Homan said. "And just having the motivation to come see a baseball — a baseball that just looks like a baseball — shows the investment that fans have made in this."
In addition to the ball, the museum features the Busch Stadium home plate from Sept. 27; a McGwire Cardinals jersey and a 1984 McGwire U.S. Olympic jersey; several McGwire bats; a McGwire first baseman's mitt; and numerous photographs of McGwire.
Gerald Baltz, executive director, didn't hesitate to credit McGwire for a boost in interest at the museum throughout this year.
For example, the crowds McGwire drew at the ball park late in the baseball season helped boost attendance about 20 percent in August and September, compared with the same period in 1997.
Royals stadium to be renovated by next season
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Some Kansas City Royals fans will be able to watch a game on the field while eating at an upscale restaurant at Kauffman Stadium next season.
The team announced yesterday $11 million in renovations that will include 160 on-field seats, four field-level suites, the restaurant, expansion and renovation of the clubhouses and players' facilities and replacing 23,000 seats in the lower seating area. The renovations will be finished when the Royals open play next season, April 5, against the Boston Red Sox, said Art Chaudry, the Royals senior vice president of business operations and administration.
Chaudry said the 160 field-level seats, known as Crown Seats, will be 50 feet from home plate, spanning from dugout to dugout. The seats can be purchased only for the season, at a cost of $8.10 each.
He said fans in those seats will have access to the Crown Club, which will be behind home plate underneath the field box seating area.
Chaudry also said four on-field suites at the dugout level will accommodate between 16 and 30 guests. Two will be on the first-base side and two on the third-base side. The suites will be sold on an individual game basis.
The current process of finding a new owner for the Royals will not affect the renovation plans. The Sports Authority, the Jackson County-owned stadium complex landlord, agreed to pay for the $11 million project after deleting 16 previously planned improvements.
