New York City is officially in a Yankees state of mind.

The first Yankees World Series victory in nine years turned downtown Manhattan into one giant party that stretched up the Canyon of Heroes to the steps of City Hall, where the champions were given the keys to the city.

"It's been too long," said Yankee captain Derek Jeter.  "But it feels good to be back ... we really forgot how good this feels."

Yankee skipper Joe Girardi, who is changing his number from 27 to 28, said the tenacious character of the team reflected the character of the Big Apple.

"This team took on the pulse of the city of New York," Girardi said.  "This team never gave up."
