New York Yankees VS Oakland Athletics October 8, 2000 ALDS Game 5 

I miss the Coliseum and Oakland in general during this time period (1999-2004), this may have been another heart breaking A's loss but it still brings back fantastic memories. Thank you.

Mike Stanton will always be loved for this game.

Yankees never celebrated an ALDS victory like they did here, but they truly celebrated here because it was a sense that they survived and aside from the loss in 97, this was the toughest ALDS they ever played up to that point. The others they breezed past Texas.

i really enjoyed the game and it took my mind off the covid 19..thank you for the upload..really appreciate it

As an A's fan, this one didn't hurt...that 2000 team was a joy and the expectations were nil because we hadn't sniffed the playoffs since last being there in 1992. Plus, the Raiders had beaten the 49ers in a great Battle of the Bay earlier in the day...so I was already emotionally drained.

Couldn't believe how empty the stadium was for this game - you have a winner-take-all Game 5 at home against the 2x defending champs at 5:30 on a Sunday evening - and your team is coming off an 11-1 win in New York to force it. You'd think the fans would be chomping at the bit but not only was it not sold out, there were 20,000 empty seats. It had to have been a bit demoralizing for the players.

Finally, thanks!!!!,one year before the 2001 moneyball game 5 at New-york

How great to hear the Oakland crowd get loud.

1996 to 2003 Yankees just toyed with most opponents. And there NEVER was any champagne for these A's. Some teams just can't get over the hump.

A's were a pain in the ass that series. Yanks put up 6 after Chavez saying their time was over. Bad move

The start of the Oakland A's nine consecutive losses in winner-take-all postseason games in the Moneyball era.

All Yankee uploads from this time period are much appreciated as I loved the '96-'01 teams. Do you have game 1 of the 2001 ALDS between the Yankees and A's in original broadcast form or any form that shows the score and radar gun? I ask because I'd like to confirm if Clemens hit 100 mph in that game because I remember he typically topped out at 96-97 mph during his superbly consistent 2001 Cy Young year, though I remember being shocked a few years later in 2003 when Roger was going for his 300th win at Wrigley and somehow hit 96 and then 99 mph vs Sammy Sosa and it was interesting to be able to confirm this with the game on RU-vid 16 years later since Roger was typically "only" throwing up to 94-95 mph by 2003 as opposed to 2000 when he still was maxing out in the 96-99 mph range depending on the game. Similarly, I watched Game 1 of the 2000 World Series again a few years ago and was surprised Pettitte hit 95 mph that game. Pettitte got a fair amount of press at the time for increasing his velocity from 89-91 mph in the late 90s to 94 mph in the early 2000s with much of that attributed to Pettitte's workouts with Clemens, but I remembered Pettitte hitting 94 mph most often after his return from the elbow injury in '02 and '03 as opposed to 2000 when I remember him maxing out around 92-93 mph more often such as in this game so if anything, I would have thought '03, '02 or '01 for that matter to be more likely years for Pettitte to hit 95 mph than 2000, though I hadn't remembered Pettitte throwing harder than 94 mph before I re-watched the game for the first time since it happened live in 2000. Also, seeing peak Jason Giambi homer at Yankee Stadium the year before it became his home park was kind of cool as is seeing Johnny Damon playing with the A's against the Yankees in the playoffs knowing he'd go on to have memorable years playing for and against the Yankees beginning with the next season.

As a follow up to my question about Game 1 of the 2001 ALDS between these same teams(in original broadcast format with radar gun readings and score shown), I'd certainly pay for a copy if one were to surface on Ebay. I wish MLB would offer this sort of stuff for sale, especially if they're going to remove some of the games from RU-vid.

Almost to good to be true, yankees kept hitting the baseball with no problem as if they knew what pitch was coming.
