Yankees EPIC 2001 World Series comebacks! 

No , actually they lost. AZ definitely deserved that WS ring. BTW, 9/11 happened to America, not just NYC

Ditto to all of that. The Tino and Brosius belief-defying homeruns were the two most magical baseball moments I've ever witnessed. In fact, they're the reason for the "24" and "18" in my basically universal username.

@@Rocky2418 nice. Even with the loss, that’s my favorite World Series I’ve ever watched.

@@snerdterguson Same here, actually. In fact, I've told people that if I could give up all 5 Yankee championships in my lifetime in order for them to have won that one, I would do it. But regardless, it's still my favorite, even with the heartbreaking end.

@@Rocky2418 ooh. That’s a toughie. I don’t know if I give up all 5, but maybe if give up 2000. Lol

@@snerdterguson Fair enough. :-)

Really.... Last time I remember the Dbacks won the series.... Take that L New York ..😂🤣🥑🤣

@@chilichoppintacobanditsuck4767 Haha, we'll take 6 pennants in 8 years and 4 World Titles. Take the Ls rest of the league!

Miss me with that bs... Dbacks served that proper L to those raggedy ass Yankees...

But they lost the series so it couldn’t have been

@@dougg2012 Nonetheless , it was still nice when it happened !!!

@@dougg2012 Rivera threw it away. If you watch game 7 closely, you'll see how many mistakes the Yankees made. They should have had minimum 2 more runs.

#1 there is no such thing as a coincidence. #2 free masons control baseball and how the scripts work, this series has so much satanic symbolism in it, especially considering it happened right after 9/11. If you don’t believe me, pay attention to small details, players #s on jerseys, the count of an at bat, how many runners on, how many outs, how many pitches thrown, the players average per game (1-3/ 2-4) the time it happens, the predictive programming the media gives you, Jeter hits his home run right after they play bell chimes after midnight in November. Just think about it.

04 was worse, but not by much.

Agree 2001

I was devastated when they lost the series, but I eventually got over it because the Diamondbacks (in all honesty) should've won it in 5. The better team won

Me too I was pretty heartbroken after game 7 game 6 was a laughter but game 7 with Sorianos dramatic homerun against Schilling in the 8th and then Mariano blew it I was very heartbroken as a Yankees fan after Sorianos homerun when Mariano came in the 8th I thought we escaped Arizona with the World Series Championship

The game 6 ass-kicking by the DBacks was one of the most impressive "bounce-back" performances I've ever seen in sports. A lot of teams would've folded after those heartbreaking losses in NY, but the DBacks had a determined veteran team. After I saw that laugher and that it would be Schilling-Clemens the next game, I knew we were in for a classic game 7.

I am an old life long Red Sox fan. I've never hated anything in sports as much as the Yankees. But after September 11th, I actually rooted for the Yankees for the 1st and only time in my life. Those Games 4 and 5 in Yankee Stadium were beyond incredible. Never before or since have I felt emotion and electricity in sports like I did during those 9th inning comebacks. For me it literally felt like a supernatural experience. I was convinced God had decided to carry the Yankees to victory because New York had suffered so terribly only 2 months earlier. So then comes Game 7. The best closer in baseball history is on the mound. And the Yankees proceed to lose in excruciating fashion on a broken bat flair off the handle. I was stunned and crushed. I couldn't believe it. The one fucking time I root for the Yankees and they collapse in heartbreaking Red Sox fashion. In brought back all the bad memories from, 1975, 1978 and 1986. Looking back on this 20 years later and it still blows me away. Those games in Yankee Stadium were for me, the pinnacle of baseball. That entire series was truly epic.

Yankees got clobbered in Arizona. Pettite was terrible

Unfortunately Mariano made an error, no one is 100% perfect, but he was as close as it gets. Man i wish he threw that ball accurately to 2B though on the DP pill.

Rivera threw it away.

@@Surfer041Scott B didn’t turn two 😢

@bobbyjohnson9409 yes.

@Don Clark yea I was the bat boy in 96

You were really the bat boy in ‘96?

No this was after 9/11. The city needed this.

This is an overly simplistic take. This Yankee roster had won the previous THREE World Series (and five of six pennants). Let that sink in for a moment. Now, let's go over the rest of it, (sports arguments are dumb, so I'll keep it brief) Johnson and Schilling weren't just in their prime, they were also SCORCHING hot and started 5 of the 7 games in the Series. And somehow, some way it still took a Murphy's Law blown save in the bottom of the 9th of Game 7 for the D'Backs to win it. The better team? LOL. The '96-'01 Yankees are perhaps the greatest team there ever was.

@@joeinreallife6293 the better team was definitely the team that got outscored by over 20 runs in the series 😂

@@joeinreallife6293Dbacks kicked the crap outta NY that series Only because of complete choke jobs by Kim, this wasn’t won in 5 games by AZ.

@@TTundragrizzly They were old and outplayed but still went into the bottom of the 9th of Game 7 with the lead. End of story. Mariano’s bad throw, Jeter’s injury on the play, Brosious putting a double play ball in his back pocket and Luis Gonzalez’s dunker with the infield in with a hobbling Jeter trying to go back on it all culminated in Arizona winning it by the skin of their teeth. Amazing. Any one of those anomalies goes the other way and the Yankees win their fourth straight World Series and five in six seasons. I’m glad it didn’t happen otherwise you clearly would’ve offed yourself long ago, simp.

9/11 happened to America, not just NYC
