Pictures of Yankees 2009 World Series rings

Pics via MLB’s HitPix stream.

Also, Yankees fan blog WasWatching pointed me to a very cool site on World Series rings. Head over to the site for a picture of each ring since 1922.

TMZ was wrong about the rings

The Yankees will receive their rings at the home opener on April 13 — not the day after — according to a team source.

TMZ: Yankees getting World Series rings on April 14

TMZ is reporting the Yankees will receive their World Series rings on April 14 when they play the Angels.

Maybe this day was chosen to make it more convenient for Hideki Matsui. More likely, the Yankees are doing it to rub it in the faces of one of their biggest rivals.

April 14 is a 1 p.m. game — the team’s second home game of the season. If you want to go, $9 tickets are still available as of this morning.

Information on the design was unavailable, but TMZ reminded fans their ring in 2000 included 22 major diamonds.
