Maybe you can tell me what the baseballs g-ds were doing in Game 1 of the 2000 Worldd Series.
When the Mets outhit the Yanks and blew 2 or 3 runs by a combination of home run balls hitting the top of the fence and bouncing up and back and baserunning errors. As well as stranding a runner on 3rd with 1 out in the top of the 9th inning. Culminated by a 15 or 20 pitch walk worked out by Paul O’Neil to start the Yankee 9th where they tied the game, miraculously didn’t win it, though Benitez tried to give it away and then came back in extras, as usual and beat the Mets, thereby ending any hope of a competitive World Series. And denying an exciting fall classic subway series that New Yorkers had been dreaming about since the Brooklyn Bums left town for the baseball mecca of LA.

I had my daughter read this Rick…she is a baseball fan through and through (and she has a special place in her heart for the Red Sox…sorry LOL) She printed this up and she wants to bring it to school to share with some teachers in a history class…they are actually talking about how sports have been such an important part of the American life…This is an awesome post and you did a great job explaining many things…

Rick,
I didn’t read the entire post. But I am a NY person and fan, Mets.
Your 2001 series analysis is tongue and cheek, however, the Yankees did not lose to an inferior team. In fact outside of late game heroics in 2 games the Yankees would have been down 3-1 or 3-2 at the least. The D Backs outhit, outscored and outpitched the Yankees. The Yanks won razor close games and were blown out in others. And having the best pitchers in a 7 games series is about the most important thing you can have on your team.

That being said the Yanks were still outhit and scored in the series.

And given the backdrop of 9-11 and the unbelievable magic the Yankees produced, that even a Yankee hater has to concede, it was one of the best World Series in history.

After that year Pauly O’neil, Tino Martinez and others left the team and the chemistry hasn’t been the same since.

I was lucky enough to be at this game. Nothing like a Scotty P. walk off home run to send 41,000+ home in a fabulous mood!
