What World Series team included Phil Hughes and David Robertson?

The World Series team that included Phil Hughes and David Robertson was the 2009 Yankees.

Both pitchers were members of the New York Yankees’ championship roster. Hughes worked primarily in relief during the 2009 season and postseason, while Robertson was another important bullpen arm who had reached the majors with New York the previous year.

The Yankees defeated the Philadelphia Phillies four games to two in the 2009 World Series. The title was the franchise’s 27th, and it marked the Yankees’ first championship since 2000. The club’s roster also featured stars such as Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte, CC Sabathia, and postseason hero Hideki Matsui.

A common mix-up is identifying Hughes or Robertson with a different Yankees championship era. Neither was part of the 1990s dynasty; both belonged to the late-2000s team that returned New York to the top of Major League Baseball.
