New York Yankees 2 at Arizona Diamondbacks 3, F -- A fitting finale to one of the best World Series ever. Surviving two stunning losses in Games 4 and 5, the Diamondbacks found their own late-inning magic in the person of Luis Gonzalez. It began with Hall-of-Fame-bound starters Roger Clemens and Curt Schilling trading zeros through six. Schilling was strong on only two days rest, but left trailing 2-1 in the 8th after an Alfonso Soriano solo HR. Out of the bullpen came Game 5 starter Miguel Batista to face one batter; then manager Bob Brenly made the gutsy call to Randy Johnson -- the Game 6 starter just the night before -- for his second-ever postseason relief appearance. The Big Unit was perfect for 1.1, but all seemed on track for NY as they summoned "automatic" closer Mariano Rivera to hold the one-run lead. Rivera was riding a string of 23 consecutive postseason saves and seemed as invincible as they come. Then, in events as almost as otherworldly as the rain that fell on them in the desert, Mo proved human... and the D-backs became the youngest franchise to win a title on Gonzalez' dramatic game-winning line drive.

    Getting a walkoff hit in game 7 of the World Series is what every baseball player dreams about

    When I am feeling down, frustrated about life, discouraged or sad, I watch the last inning of this game and I instantly have the heart of a lion.
  • @brentdonnell4094
    Schilling Vs. Clemens, can't get any better than that for Game 7.

    Being in the Valley for fourty-nine years and witnessing the Phoenix Suns loose to the Mikuakee Bucks in game six of the NBA 2021 Finals--watching this heroic moment from the D-Backs is therapeutic. Thank you Diamond Backs for the 2001 Championship that I will always remember.

    This is easily one of the greatest moments in sports history. So much emotion. I get goosebumps every time I watch this.

    I was at Game 7! Tickets were in the Upper Deck, but hands down, the most exciting World Series game I've ever been to. I still have the little white pom-pom they handed out at the gate. Everyone shaking those in unison was something I'll never forget.

    2023.. what a time to be alive to remember this moment of baseball history. To see the Diamond backs back in the WS.
  • @banklikefrankwhite1
    The DBacks outscored the Yankees 37-14 in this World Series. That's frickin insane for a 7 game series.

    21 years later and Womack still holds the title of the most clutch hit in MLB history

    One of my favourite World Series. Can’t believe this was over 20 years ago. Time flys by so fast.

    from the trumpet national anthem, to the winning call ...everything about this game is a great American painting in time. The enthusiastic celebration the trumpet player does when he nails the hard-to-play high notes. The roaring crowd and the stealth bomber fly-over setting the tone. The seemingly unbeatable Yankees coming for their 4th world series in a row... goosebumps. My favorite part is when McCarver predicts the play like a master of the game and it just unfolds before us. Womack's hit to tie the game has you believing there's a chance by tying the game up. Best hitter in the league up with bases loaded, best closer in the history of baseball on the mound...cut away shot to the Big unit Randy Johnson like a little kid at the fence watching the game... and then the moment. Watching Gibson jump for joy out of the dugout like a little kid on Christmas morning.. FANTASTIC. they can't make movies this good.

    15 years later and I still get chills from Jesse Mcguire's rendition of the star spangled banner

    2:35:44 What Tim McCarver says next about Rivera is 100% exactly what happened. That was the most brilliant call of all time, the pitcher literally threw it inside and it was a hit that went to shallow out field, when everyone was shifted in. That is a man that knows his baseball right there.
  • @errweezze1898
    RIP Tim McCarver. I will always remember his call in the bottom of the 9th. Truly perfection!
  • @ibhaenggi
    This will forever be one of, if not THE BEST World Series in MLB history.
  • @kooj22
    The trumpet player......you the real MVP
